I agree with the assessment here. The GSR is the best compromise for a stock trans. If you rebuild (I’d get the limitied slip diff) and change the final and individual ratios to whatever you want, keeping in mind engine rev limiter and effective engine operating range for your selections. You can really dial it in nicely if you got the $$$ to rebuild.
