I heard there has been one or two dog boxes out in testing for awhile now. Anyone have any more info on them, like how it's doing? When it's official release/price is? With all the problems I've seen recently with other boxes the Albins is my last hope for a transmission. If it can't handle the 26's like the others I'm going to turn my car back into a street car put a baby turbo on it and some 24.5's and build a RWD car. I can't afford to be replacing a 4.6 final and a 3rd gear every 5 hits, especially on the 3-letter gearbox that initially costs 2 times the competitor's pricing.

 

I have been talking to someone on here about this box. They have it on a 900+ hp car on 26s. They are telling me they like it. Hope they will chime in on this.

 

I'm up for some info on this to. I have also been looking to get one just scared to at this point because not alot of info about them.

 

Still waiting to do more test passes on it, as the car (Indub's EK coupe) had to get some work done under the hood as it managed to distort the left and right framerails a bit with the power.. Car has never been wrecked, but with only three engine mounts it managed to bend the top of the drivers side framerail and the inner side of the passenger framerail.. Car is all straight and reinforced now, just need to get some more track time.. Albins obviously wants to make sure this gearset holds up, before they put them into production.. For more info, you will want to talk to Erik at Bullhead Gears though, as he is the distributor for these units..

 

They're in the right car for testing, that's for sure! lol

 

That's good to hear, if they hold up for Jake I'm sure they will be fine for me haha.

 

Tony's right, Jake breaks everything. (except his wallet)

 

I think Zol from speedfactory with red ek hatch makes close to 900hp and he as plenty of hits on it....he runs like 9.6x and drive it on the street every day so ....i don't think his id dog ingag...but syncro instead...but 850hp on a syncro set over a year of hits is worth a try.....for the price also is good

 

Yes but zol is on 24.5's, noone really had problems with some of the other gearsets either till the 26's.

 

true ....

 

so what is so special about these gears then the rest.

also if they have been aroud for a year on a street car why arnt they out already.

sounds like alot of hype just like the overpriced PPG

 

its not hype i have a set to put in my car ,,,,the hold up is on the dog set,,,,the syncro set is avail..now call bullhead or speedfactory....

 

street cars dont count at all.
stock has proven its self on the street. once u go over 600whp your spinning tires anyways

 

wat are you talking about.......the set has run 9.2x before, the same set ...and couple weeks ago 9.6x wat street tires you talking about:?

 

im saying on the street u cant really test a gear set. dont see the same load as a track ****.

 

i think you are misunderstanding...the car is a track ***** that runs mid 9's but it gets driven home from the track....

 

locash have you pulled the gear set out lately to look at it?

 

Nope, havent looked at it lately, probably a good idea to, before the car goes to Sacramento, IDRC, and Ennis..

 

I have the synchro helical billet gears in my car but it's only making 850-900 on 24.5's. The OP and the rest of the big dogs are awaiting the release of there Helical Dog set. Albins is being pretty cautious in there testing, vs. whoring it out without knowing for sure if it'll withstand the beatings these cars put on gearsets. I think alot of testing and questions will be answered after Sac.
