Great thread though, lots of info.... Mac

Straight cut dog ring boxes boxes are the preferred type for racing. But as you say, they're also the noisiest and they are harder to shift on the street (you have to heel toe to downshift). But since you're running a track car, I'd go for it.
And yes, you're very lucky with that T5....they usually shatter in a million pieces with that much power and sticky tires.
