And what's the application?

My tarmac GC8 has a 5-speed 4.44 Albins gear set 1-5. Previous owner did this over a 6-speed for weight benefits and also so as to not add more unnecessary gear changes (eg if you need to change down a gear into a corner and up a gear out of a corner, that's time). It's a close-ratio box so it keeps nicely in its powerband; tradeoff is not being able to go over about 220-230km/hr, but in targa (WA targa anyway) that doesn't matter, and at the racetracks in Perth you'll barely hit that speed with less than 330HPATW.

If you're building your car to have more power, yeah it may change the way you go about everything.

Personally my box is close enough that I think a 6-speed would shit me!
