14% higher ratio box.
Hopefully its to specialised to be regarded as advertising but its good for the few to be aware of it. (but board sponsors Orient Express are the US agents) but we have now developed for the ZX-14 / ZZR1400 a wide rato billet gearbox for land speed racers.
Some drag racers already use our Busa box for its undercut 3 dog set up but the ZZR 1400 is designed for the land speed freak to increase gearing potential. Very specialised race undercut billet box. Put photo up soon if allowed

What are the gear ratios and why do you believe it is superior to stock witrh taller final - such as 18/39..... how much will this cost - and when will they be available?

Ratios can be supplied, however the intention is that top gear say at 11000 rpm doing say 200mph would then be doing 228mph providing the engine has been powered up to pull it.
However the idea of a wide ratio gearbox unlike fitting taller 5th & 6th gears is to spread the increase gradually throughout the gears rather than just in the final 2 or 1. This then stops the large rpm drops & power struggling to pull those 2 gears also meshing between the gears is better.
Because they are race undercut & the dogs are 3 pronged not 4 the ability to engage & stay engaged in gear is much better especially under wheelspin conditions etc. You can undercut a standard gearbox but when you do so you are eating into the hardening process while aftermarket billet gears are hardened after machining so keep better strength.
Hope thats been of help. Price wise that is for Orient Express to answer.

Is orient going to carry your turbo kit?
I really don't need taller gears for my purposes, but its great to see companies like yourself spending the time and cash to develop and tool new parts
kudo's ....
hmmm. I thought orient express was a site sponsor.... no longer listed though...
