So i have reached the power level where im only getting 15-20 passes out fo the stock gear set and its time to upgrade..now i have talked to a few people in the area but want more opinions and possibly personall experiences of ppl running b series dogboxes.. do the longer 1st gears work? should i stay close to the stock gsr gear setting..?what company has the best coustomer service?bad experiences? the car is going high 9s making about 800 on a 62 mm turbo.. on a 24.5 tire..
thank you

 

You will absolutely love going from a stock transmission to a dog box. What for the Albins box to be released.... you wont be dissapointed!

 

****, I wish i got 15-20 passes from stock trannies.

 

Yeah no kidding I have yet to make more than one pass on a stock tranny. The albins box is the way to go, I'm saving up for a set right now for when they are officially released. Their customer service blows PPG's out of the water and not to mention the replaceable and stronger dogs, plus the helical gears help with shaft separation which we all know causes a lot of issues with bearings and cases.

 

We run PAR engineering in our VW we love it customer service is top notch and they make honda boxes, they are also out of australia

 

Get in touch with Bullhead Gears, they have some nice gear sets from PPG or Albins. I run the PPG 1-2 gear set in my all motor car.

 

These guys will take care of all your needs and questions

i've had good luck a decent communication with liberty's gears. I think early on, it was hell with liberty.

 

Listen to this guy, he knows a thing or two about breaking trannys.

 

LOL ..

 

personally haven't had to use a dogbox, but from what i hear it would save you alot of money in the long run haha

 

MFACTORY DUDE! jp
PPG seems to be the way to go alot of the top dawgs are runnin them but apparently the Albins Helical set is something that alot of people have been talking about.
I spoke with Speedfactory and they said that they are having great success with the helical set at their power level (i believe 1100+)

 

ive heard nothing but good things about albins has any 1 tried there gear sets with the liberty bell housing????????

 

Definately go with a long first gear, it works great for me and im not making your power.

 

We're running the liberty housing with the Albins helical dogset in our 8sec SpeedFactory shop car and it's been working flawlessly. We were replacing parts after 4-8runs with the PPG set and got tired of dumping more n more money into the PPG set. We've been testing the Albins dogset since late summer and gone a few events and testing days without any issues

Overall we've been extremely happy with there quality of parts, fitment and service. On my own personal car I've been running the Albins synchro gearset for the past year and a half and it's been really good to me as I can't afford to be replacing gears and final drives every other race. I street drive the car and it makes 800-900whp. I go to events and I may not be the fastest car in the class, but I make it through rounds due to the reliability of my setup (especially tranny) while others are stuck in the pits fixing parts or swapping trannys or just putting it back on the trailer. I've grown to realize the past couple years that outlasting your competition mechanically is a huge part of racing, especically with our freakishly powerful 4bangers

Feel free to contact the shop with any and all questions about the Albins stuff, Matt and James are always more then willing to share any knowledge we have on the product.

g force is workin realy good for as on the 24.5 tire

just curious why not more people are running these

My PPG H- series Dog has been great. Best investment I have made

 

Any feedback on the Magnus gearset?

http://magnusmotorsports.com/?page_i...&product_id=33

Is there a N.American Dealer for PAR?

 

By the stories I've read about Magnus, I'd stay far away.

I've run the PPG with no issues, so aside from the price, PPG is a good choice. I am really looking forward to the release of the Albins dogsets though, as I own the twin brother to SpeedFactory's B-series Albins dog set. The replaceable dogs will be the way to go once testing is done..If you can hold out for a little while, wait for the Albins, otherwise buy the PPG.

The Liberty set is good if you arent making 900+ hp and can't afford the price tag of the other sets..

 

Is there some sort of date when the Albins set will be ready? The SpeedFactory site says that they have one in stock.

I was ready on the Par-Egineering site and they have an option to go with the helical cut gears but they don't recommend it for drag racing, any opinions?

 

wasn't eggum running a liberty? How much power was she making? From what I read that fmunk used to say it held up great. I think they actually helped liberty developed it.

 

yeah when will thie albins grearset be released? and so liberty is no good after 900? and no more feedback on g force?

 

I run a gforce and really like it so far, I do not have many hits on it yet but with the t1/gforce shifter its butter, best money I have ever spent. You can go to there web site but all that info is old info and not there current gear set that is being used today. Lou is a cool guy and if you need parts, hey there in the states and could have them the next day if needed.
