Why not go with a 5.12 and call it a day?

I wanted to do 5.1 but wasn't able to find a good source to get one.

They’re a bit rare now that Mazda Motorsport sold all theirs and didn’t reorder any more.

i've only been able to find them from japan for around $1500, but i'm not sure how reliable those sites are.

I ordered the one from the link above. $800 shipped. He said it made in China. So we'll see how it works out.

I just made a post in the DSP race thread about trans/rear gear combos. That gear with the Series 2 trans makes a nice combo on the track for a 70 - 130 mph range in 3rd - 5th gear
