Our B2 rally car has a CQ box in it, it’s handling circa 300 bhp and more importantly, the torque of the AAN. Ratio wise, it’s brilliant for sprinting, A/B road stuff. Motorways…. Nope… too high a ratio number. It’s just too busy at 70 mph for long periods. At the power output numbers you’re talking about, the box will probably cope (they’re pretty strong), but the ‘on road’ motorway gearing will grind you down.

Edit. Rev limiter, 130…. Absolutely yes.

You can work the gears out from this…
