I have the AP racing 6 speed which is brilliant, not sure what the 5 speed can take.

I thought that the 5 speed turned to cheese over 400bhp

I am running a Helix Organic with Grp N housing.

Very nice to use everyday.

Exactly what I was going to say, and even nicer now they have reduced the costs

Will drive almost like standard and we have tested them to 460lbf, only down side they are not a huge fan of launching.

We tested the Evo one to 460lbf and it was rated to 400lbf so I would be happy to fit that on 400lbf
