I always wanted a Doug Nash 5 speed back in the 80’s, but they were just too expensive. Post #4 on the following thread shares some interesting information about what happened when Richmond took over manufacturing and how much power they can handle now compared to the DNE days. A more modern transmission is probably needed if you plan to use all that torque regularly, but since I can’t afford any of them I’m not very up to date on what can handle that much power.
