Faceplating a T56 would be similar drivability to the dog box S2000 transmission, so you could also keep that on your list. The custom clutch is the biggest addition to cost if you don't already need one.

By top of second I am at 18-20psi and after over 35 passes my second gear is still in one piece. (I am curious to see what it looks like when Evans takes it out). I don't want to run faster than 10.5 so is there really that much of a risk of stripping a PPG gear? it's rated at 1000hp, I make 635 and 2nd won't see that. I may have to replace the dogs eventually but one of the reasons I love the S2000 is the extremely short throws and this will keep that, as well as give me the ability to shift without waiting for the Syncros, or for 2nd gear to go.

As far as driving the Dogbox, I have been rev matching/double clutching for years because I thought my Synchro's were going out and I just kept the habit I don't know, I may regret it, but I will probably end up thinking (at least I hope) it's the best upgrade i ever do.

I looked at the T56 but was told from guys I trust it's extremely sloppy and shifts like absolute garbage at high RPMS. I will now have a head that will allow me to Rev to 10,000RPMs if I wanted to, not sure how how the T56 would handle that, not to mention the downtime.

I am skeptical but with the Head costing over $2,000 there is no F'ng way I'm spending another $10,000 for a V160.......(I hope to god I'm making the right decision)
