    From what I've read, face plating makes them shift higher, but be a bitch on the street. Mine will see lots of street duty (Power Tour etc) and I don't think that's the route I want to go. I did see an Australian sequential shifter you can pair with a face plated trans that would be badass for drag duty. Also seems like a pain in the dick on the street though.
    80 Camaro Z28 - 550hp AFR 383 / T56 6spd (Holley HP EFI)
    91 Beretta "SS" - 260hp 3400 MPFI / HM282 5spd (7730/$A1) sold! for crazy money...but I miss it
    94 Silverado Z71 - 300hp Vortec 357 TBI / NV4500 5spd (7427/$0D) gone but not forgotten
    96 Beretta "T56" - 4.8 LS RWD swap / 6spd (0411/2156)

    I can show you pictures of a T56 from a Corvette with gear teeth all broken. I didn't find anything else broken but the gear teeth. But hey, they never break and can take tons of abuse, right?

    I'd rather be dumb than a name calling piece of shit like you...

    No one was talking to you. You may now resume jacking off and wishing you had a T56.

    Looks like lionelhutz wandered off from camp and forgot to take her meds again.

    I don't think it would be bad on the street. There are guys on tech who are running them and all the ones I've read about say that they would never have a synchronized box again after going that route. Basically what it would be like is similar to a motorcycle transmission which uses dog engagement. So in a car, that would be the only tradeoff as far as I can tell, it would no longer be silky smooth and quiet like with synchros, but a positive audible "CLUNK" when you engage gears.
