Hello, Myself and two other NSX owners are having Mark Basch fly in from Arizona in May to do tranny installs on our cars. We live in PA and have been trying to get Mark to come in for awhile but as you all know, he has way more work than he has time. Mark is doing our work only because we have been inquiring about this for over a year. To make a long story short, since we have very limited access to Mark, I have to make the right decision on what components to go with in the tranny. To give you some background, I own 3 other sports cars, so my NSX is not my daily driver and I don't take it on trips, etc. I have gotten very different responses from members about what options are the best. I am going to supercharge the car and Mark Basch recommends that because of the supercharger, the 4.55 R&P is not needed. However, I have spoken to Enrique and Alex V. from GruppeM and the both recommend that I do get the 4.55. I would like to get everyone opinion that has driven or experience with mulitple setups. I am also not too concerned about spending the extra 2 grand on the R&P because I only plan to have the tranny work done once and I don't want to regret it later when Mark B. won't be around.
Here are the options, if you had a superchargered 5-speed NSX with full exhaust system:
A - stock R&P, short gears, clutch
B - 4.55 R&P, short gears, clutch
C - 4.55 R&P, short gears, clutch & lightened flywheel
Note: Mark B. also stated that he is removing his lightened flywheel from his car. He states the car is a lot harder to drive and there is some torque loss.
Thanks to everyone
