Default 180bhp Zetec Gearbox?

hi,

im hopeing somebody may be help me out.

The car - mk5 xr3i(105) 2.0 180 bhp has cams and wants to rev
Problem - The gearing is all wrong and car feels sluggish.

The car will do 130mph at 6750 in 4th. The current gearbox is in IB5 and possibly the original XR105. I have the numbeers from the top of the gearbox if that will identify it.

I would like a closer ratio gearbox that can make use of the revs. I was wondering about a puma gearbox, ST170, mondeo 1.6 etc.

Could anybody give their feelings on the above, pros and cons.


Many thanks,
Shane
