BTW, spend more money and get a better gearset

I have heard lots of bad stuff about the RA

The prodrive set is very expensive, but I hear its one of the best

what bad stuff have you heard?

I have heard the turbo XS dog box is insanity at its finest.

I'd opt for a straight cut gearset with syncros.

How much power are you making? Straight cut gears are extremely noisy but will hold lots of hp/trq.
I have the RA gearset and no problems after 25k miles and over 300whp.
I don't know much about Prodrives, but I bet they are expensive (hence the name).

The Prodrive set (which is identical to the gimme set I have) has less teeth, which means beefier teeth, its also hardened and cryo-treated

I love the RA set much better than the KAAZ straight cut, if you want to ride or drive a car with them let me know.

Think of how loud the gear whine is when you're backing up. That's what straight cut gears mostly sound like.
