blykins,

It comes back to me now, going quick is good for a straight cut box, and then you might another driver in, and graunch graunch, I think the novelty would wear off, and especially if you chipped a gear!

David,
Same message, a straight cut isn't practical for the road and some circuit use, lovely sound and all that
The torque loading of an approx 500ftlbs claim for the T5 may be a limiting factor as I will be using a 347 stroker engine in a good state of tune.

The Richmond hasn't a smooth slick gear change, and the Tremec having a low 3.27 first gear and a high OD fifth gear doesn't impress me, but maybe the Tremec with a thereabouts 3.04 first gear would be good!
So in a nutshell I am confused on what to get, but want a five speed this time round. I dont expect you to comment on the best trans for my application on the forum, but at least there is a choice out there, and that will have to be made soon, as I want to complete some construction work in the trans tunnel area.
