Would a center main strap on an 850cc motor be necessary, or doable even?

Some would argue that a strap is never necessary. If you are plenning high revs then it's a good idea IMO.

I am planning high revs. I don't know that I'll necessarily need high revs, but it's going to be a daily car, and I spend a lot of time on the freeway. I want to be able to go 75mph plus without making my ears bleed though. Do you have one on the 998? |

What final drive will you be running. 75MPH won't require big revs with most standard FDs On 12th Nov, 2009 Paul S said:

I'm not sure, being a daily, I might go with 2.76, or I might keep the 3.44 I have in it now, just in a quaife rather than open diff. I like how peppy the 3.44 is for such a small car. I know I could get a lot more peppy with 3.76 or so, but I don't need that, maybe for my mk1 racer... when I get that built. |

Well a 3.44 FD with 165 70/10 tyres gives 4600 rpm which isn't a great amount. I found the 3.44 a little short on motorways though as I like to overtake a fair bit.

What do you prefer on motorways? As I like to be able to overtake, and with some good sound deadening after the rebuild and a proper dash, even 5500 rpms shouldn't be too unbearable... Besides, I don't terribly mind the a-series scream. |

I had a 3.1 with my standard 998 and loved it. It was fine around town too. I have a 2.9 for the turbo motor so we will see how that goes On 12th Nov, 2009 Paul S said:

I didn't have a rev counter but I could happily reach 145km/h on 165 70/10s On 12th Nov, 2009 Paul S said:

I can promise you that a 2.76 on an 850 will not work.... On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:
Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem. |

Even if it's turbo'd and built up in the motor? Seems to work on 998's. |
