Default Ap1 or ap2 trans

My ap1 motor is in need of a rebuild so I opted to look for a long block. I came across a great deal on a complete ap2 swap (motor,trans,ecu,diff,drive shaft) and will be picking it up next week. Is the ap2 trans best suited for the f22 or is there any benefits to running the ap1 trans? I know the ap2 trans and diff are stronger but is that an issue with stock hp?

Run the AP1 trans, better ratios for the F22C.

On stock torque it shouldn't matter.

The updated synchros are nice in the AP2 box, but yes, the ratios are better in the AP1 box when running the F20C.
