Default Would this be one of the better Road Race Specific 6 Speeds?

To All:

I am looking at upgrading to a 6 Speed Gearbox because the engine I am putting in the car will far surpass the torque rating of the current transmission.

Since I intend to Track the Car a fair bit, I was looking for a close ratio transmission. Here is what I found:
======================================
http://www.sdparts.com/product/RG705...sionFBody.aspx

The Richmond Six Speed overdrive transmission was designed with the driving enthusiast in mind. The six speed transmission is made in the U.S.A. by American Craftsmen using the latest CNC machining and in house heat treat. Based on our bullet proof five speed design, the Richmond ROD has another gear-to-grab overdrive!

Note: Includes cross member, speedo cable extension and special shifter for torque arm hook up.
Gear Ratios: 3.27 / 2.13 / 1.57 / 1.23 / 1.00 / 0.76
=======================================

I am going to follow up on the internals, however the gear ratios appear to be more suited for RR.

=======================================
I also like this one from ATS:

Product Description Price
LSX T-56 six speed
LSX style T-56 six speed transmission with Viper internals $3,600.00

USUALLY SHIPS IN: 3-5 Days


View Enlarged ImageTremec T-56 six speed manual transmissions are one of the most popular swaps into muscle cars today. American Touring Specialties now offers a bolt in T56 for your LSX conversion capable of handling the power levels of modified LS7 engines, and the extreme abuse associated with road racing. We begin with a brand new LS1 T-56 from the 98-02 Camaro/Firebird vehicles and completely disassemble and upgrade the internals of the case. This upgrade includes triple cone syncros made of Kevlar, a steel 3/4 shift fork, and a heavy duty Viper output shaft capable of handling up to 750 ft lbs of torque. the entire transmission is reassembled with precise tolerances, and blueprinted to ATS specifications. the units include a factory cast aluminum bellhousing, case to bellhousing bolts, all electrical Sensor, and shifter stub. Optional viper yoke shown in picture available for an additional $190.00 to ease driveshaft fabrication.
================================

The internal information on the ATS is much more specific, however the Ratios are not published.

Any thoughts, or other suggestions?

In the mean time, I will be calling these companies for more information.

Thanks,

Ty O'Neal
