The AOR transmission in the 944 turbo S has been holding up for a lot of guys running v8's. There's a few running 500hp to the wheels and haven't had any problems. They say not to drop the clutch and you'll be fine. There's a reinforcement plate for the AOR that some guys make that does help the cause. There was one car I found that detonated his gearbox but he took a bet to try and wheelie. I think I'm going to be fine as far as the transmission goes. I'm more concerned about the engine setup for now.

Doing some scratchwork, I think I should be running 2600rpm at 70mph if I run 235/17/50's. That seems to be better than most ls1 engines but I'm going to see if anyone's fit taller wheels in the rear.
