what cam you got in it? you have to take into consideration when the cam comes into play.. for e.g my 308 has a 286 through a 5 speed, you get a bit of 'cam lag' which can be a pain in the ass, however there is more topend, depends what you want out of it..

If you have a T5 behind it, build an auto or put a T56 behind it as the T5 wont last long behind anything with a bit of grunt

Either the Getrag or a T56 is what you should be looking at, or go auto, much cheaper and easier
