I had a GForce GSR dog box in a race car and it has no business being on the street. The sheer whine is for a race environment only. It shifts instantly and is one bad mofo with a zillion gear ratio options. Another plus is that they are around 60lbs..... saving an easy 70lbs from swapping away from a T56.... and then another 20-30lbs with running a lightweight 7.25" triple disc clutch/PP/flywheel setup (mine was 13lbs total).

Once again... this transmission is not a street transmission by any definition. Straight cut gears and dogs for gear engagement are brutal on the senses over time.
The 4 speed dog boxes are affordable. The 5 speeds which are yet again a step up with little compromise in gearing... are super $$$'s.
