Is 12.7 going to make that much difference over a 14.4 box? I will autocross the car and I'd like to kill two birds with one stone if I swap boxes- fix the leak and quicken the steering. But, if it's not that much different I may settle.
Thoughts?

I feel it is significant and for autox you want the faster ratio for sure. Some people even like 10:1 for autox although personally I think that's overkill.
