Pushing it too far is only one issue. It over extends the hub and bing.... The other issue is idiots grabbing hard and the sync not being fast enough, or the force being too hard and the hub tweaks and bing...

Gear ratio's in non auto FC/FD are 4.11:1 with a few exceptions.

What swap? The 20b swap? Yeah, it'll be fine. IIRC the 8's tires are taller as well which nessitated the higher ratio. A Renni tranny in a turbo or ported FC would be about damn perfect according to my math. We shall see though. But for an auto-x, it would be a JOY compared to the TII box. That thing is miserable for auto-x.... I fucking hate it.
