There is no need to do anything to a 6 speed. you are just wasting money if you crack it open

A dog box is not for the daily driven car and still not rearly for the weekend car. Been there, done that, got a 6 speed instead.

No need to upgrade a standard 6 speed gearbox. They are fucking strong as is.

6 speed loves it

if you want a 1/4 mile drag car, keep in mind there are different ratio boxes available to suit different events

Learn to drive smoothly and you'll be just as quick.

6speed is a no brainer.

Dogbox if you want the ultimate instant shift, but prepare to compromise heavily on driveability and overall maintenance schedule
