well i'm out about to swap a 1g-gte into an ra23 from another ra23. From memory the box was pretty noisy (W58 / steel sandwitch plate) so i was thinking of running a good W55 I had instead. I know the 55 has a pretty short first gear compared to the 58 and might effect the drivability/performance. Basically my question is to anyone running a W55 behind a 1g-gte with an ra23 or other 4.11 geared car -- how is it?? I've all but forgotten what the W58 was like from memory I revved it to 6k, dropped the clutch, got grip around 5500, then reved to about 7ish, second gear and so on. My worry with the 55 is that the engine might be at 8000 before it's done any good and the lack of load might reduce boost in first and have it lag even into second unless i change really hard... I need an answer/advice in a about an hour as i'm out in this beautiful rain pulling out the 18rc and want the 1g sitting in the bay tonight or i won't be able to sleep.

Thanks in advance!!
