Default Is it worth swapping my 6 speed box for a dog box/ppg?

Hi
When my car was running around the 420bhp mark it had a 5 speed WRX box in it,but the box didn't last long so i swap it for a 6 speed box,but after fitting it the car never felt as quick due to gearing.

Now the car is running over 600 i am wondering if i would get better response with a dog/ppg box?

How strong are these boxes and would there be any benefit in me swapping to either one of them?

The car is being used for mainly track,some road use

Cheers for any advice

I thought that a 6 speed was more reliable than a ppg at those power levels?

The 6 speed will last longer than a ppg or even a dog box, the 6 speed is becoming more popular with a lot of ta cars it will certinly Handel more torque than a ppg
