Feathering the clutch a little adds to the experience. I don't place much emphasis on city driving with the car as I'm in a small town, country roads is where I enjoy it. With 3:55's it could see the taller 1st being a problem, with 3:73's I'm on the edge in your opinion?

Sorry for the jack Ron, hopefully you get some info from the input.
Im in a similar situation 3:73s . Right now I have a 700r4 a 3:06 first gear .
I do trackdays , HSAX stuff . I can usually get to the first turn in first with 330 HP . I will probably never have more than 400 HP at the rear wheels
Do I go with a rs400/500 ? or the rs 600, for the better first gear ?
Once under way I do not expect to need first gear with either trans
I did send Keisler a couple e-mails , no answer yet
