Question 5speed or 6speed
As some of you may know, I have a 5speed 4port rx8. I am planning on getting it supercharged. Would it pull quicker if i had the 6 speed installed or should I keep my 5speed and maybe put in an other final gear. Ratio's of my 5speed are:
1:3,483
2:2,015
3:1,484
4:1,000
5:0,762
final: 4,444

So, which final gear would be best, I will try to get between 250 and 300whp. Can I get one from the rx7? It seems that the tranny is the same.

I thought the 5 spd came with a 4.30 rear gear, at least in Japan
