drag transmission

would a RA gearset be better than a million dollar 6 speed swap for dragging....at best i may see 300whp anytime soon...and when i do i will upgrade to 6 speed then.... i think i just answered my own question...LOL

[homurcules]

i could be wrong, but i think i remeber hearing that the RA grearset is lower than RS gearing.   i could be wrong/way off tho.    and since rs gears are a bit lower than wrx gears, i dont know how it would be benificial, with the exception of durability.   

just my $.02

for drag racing, the jdm 6spd is actually not a great idea since it puts you well into 5th by the end of the 1/4

I can attest to this
If you want teh bestest drag tranny, you should go with something along the lines of either RA 5 speed gears or other cryo-treated 5 spd gears. These are the "best" as they have the perfect setup for 1320 racing.

Other than that though, JDM 6 speed all the way!! Oh wait, not for highway runs over 160 . . . .

is the ra's a different ratio? or just hardened gears?

[nicad]

different ratio.  not worth the money at all - not any stronger than newer factory boxes

go with a PPG Box.  not as expensive as most people think, plus the clutchless upshifting is badass

[asphaltscry]

come on 7000rpm at 130 mph in 5th gear just rocks
