/\ dunno just my prefrence. i did a top speed run with my car on the 478 and i ran out of gears/rpm at 191mph @ 8400rpm! and the 5th gear takes forever to get up to speed. 3-4 it pulls but in 5th the car really doesnt start to pull until you hit 170. I know im crazy for going that fast but i love high speed.
i have pictures of the Power fc commander but as i told everyone the speedometer said one thing and the power fc said another!

/\ yeah i remember that vid. i saved it, the camaro got caught by the police!
HERES ONE OF THE HIGH SPEED RUNS I DID! i have no video cause i was in the car by my self (440hp)
as far as i can see it would be a little more speed with the rx8 only with the extra gear gets me there a little faster as i will be in the powerband more often! and with the 3.9 final drive ill run out of gears before i run out of rpms

Dude, get the getrag from the supra.
Its able to hold alot of power and you can go well over 200mph.
Here is another clip, notice how he shifts just before 8k rpm. Since you're squeezing more rpm's in each gear, this tranny is perfect for you.

you wont find a getrag for no less than $3k and can skyrocket from there. i've seen several abused trannies that need a rebuild go for $600 tho.
mosey on over to supraforums.com they should be able to give you a good idea on what a decent price for a getrag is.

It's my understanding that the gears and shafts simply aren't as beefy in the RX-8 trannys. Not something that a shop could do much with.
I suppose I could try to find someone with an RX-8 tranny that needs rebuilt. That should provide some really good information about it.

your Top speed wont increase by going to an FE 6 speed tranny
the reason being.. both tranny's have the same Final Drive
you will be adding a gear somewhere between 3rd and 4th If I remember correctly
which is pretty useless.. since our turbo cars have the tortque to power through it
