You'd be concerned about drivability aswell right?

I have a PPG 1-4 helical synchro set. Exactly like the stock box in regards to drivability. No problems yet after quite a few 7000 rpm clutch dumps at the drags. They only make a slight whining noise - much quieter than straight cut.

If I had the choice again I would go for the 6 speed conversion though. There are really no negatives with the 6 speed where as gearbox noise is definately a negative when it comes time to sell the car. 6 speeds are cheaper now and I got box done just before people started selling them cheaper :/.

Any more info on the Albins box?? I havent heard too much about them....are they available as helical dog too, or just synchro??

most of the info on albins gear is on their website
