Was that with the high dollar Quaife gear set?  Last time I enquired those 
were out of production with no plans to reproduce.  I can't imagine what 
they're 
worth now with the Dollar so weak.  Sure like to have them though...

I just completed assembly of a customer car, including installation 
of a gearbox that had been converted to straight cut gears with dog 
synchronizers. I took a brief drive on a local highway. That 
synchronizer system is absolutely amazing and a joy to use. I don't 
know if it's an advantage from the power standpoint, but I'd guess 
the effortless shifting would be worth a half-second to a second on a 
Road America course lap time.
