This is ASE_Joe posting -

Stock LS1 cars redline around 7k. With heads and cam, most powerbands are raised to around 7800rpm peak. Not bad for V8 muscle

Speed of shifts on the guru tranny are measured down .35 miliseconds! Strength of gears, performance and realability, that is some of the reason why all the world rally guys use dogboxes as well as top race teams. But yes the sound is cool! for 5k USD I reakon it is a steal, compared to similar gearsets, but that is just me!

the world rally teams have tranies that are much more complicated than an every day dog box. they are coputer controled electro-hydraulic sequential trannies that cost about 45,000 pounds a peice, that's about 75,000 us dollars, they use straight cut gears , but that is where the similarities end, the computer looks at wheel speed , rpm , boost, actual speed, and then uses an electronicly actuated ram to shift the gears, hence them just pulling a lever and it changing gears almost instantly
