Default what gear box do I want?

Righty, got my classic with a uk6sp in it at the minute.

I've been running 11.2s quarter miles in less than ideal conditions. But I am let down by having to change between 4th and 5th

I need a gearbox with a longer 4th gear to avoid changing up to 5th just before the finishing line on the 1/4 mile.

Is there a standard box that would do this? I've been crossing the line at about 127mph so far.

I am going in for a remap and some more power soon so will be mid 500s so an old spec 5sp is out of the question

I want to run 10s so losing a gear change should help me!

But what are my options?

Right I've been told hawkeye boxes or a ppg 5spd are really my only options.

Is this correct?

What kind of price am I looking at for a rebuild and fitting a hawk 4th gear compared to a ppg 5sp and a hawk box?

Will I need different gbox, diffs and cradles etc for a hawk box?
