Lynn,

What timing. I was just on the phone this morning with Fortin Racing. Because I currently do business with them in my offroad stuff I was considering their new 6 speed sequential for my 40 (if it will fit @ 33” long).

They only offer straight cut dog gears in their units. My experience with the dog gears doesn’t really bring much concern for street\race but the straight cut gears, let me tell you. They are LOUD, and for any extended driving time you would be asking for ear plugs not to mentioned passengers ………….let put it this way, they won’t be asking for a second ride [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] Don't get me wrong, I’m one for all the high performance noise one can dish out, but straight cut gears do get annoying.

With your post showing Quaife 6 speed sequential synchromesh, you got me thinking. Not to mention Quaife’s price beats Fortin’s $20,000+ price tag.

Could you possibly post a contact for me to inquire?
