so, if one were to put a larger motor in their car (i.e., more torque, hp) what would be a better transmission for the track - the 5 or 6 speed? apparently the 6 speed can handle a bit more power, and has closer gearing so that rpms don't drop as much between shifts. the 5 speed ratios are not as tight so that you'll have more rpm drop on shifts but the torquier engine should be able to mange it. further, with longer legs in each gear you wouldn't be rowing as much, which might be a benefit on a more technical track?
