Mk Mark Walker (flat track on here) has a sequential for sale I think. I used the oppliger long box, close ratio on mine, it is not too noisey and makes the car much better on the road with 3.9 riffs as the standard cars were over geared.
What torque is yours making, at 580 bhp I would expect a fair chunk of torque too, most break around 400ftlb.
Bara boxes are used a lot, as are fixit.

dont know how the std box is still in one piece with that power. in 20 years ive done in 5 or 6 std boxes in a kit car weighing only 800kg which was running only 400 ish.
now its got more power and running fixit semi straight cut CR with 4.4 diff and drop gears and due to the gear cut and more revs its much more noisy than the std box. the box and ratios are perfect for a weekend hooligan machine but probably wouldnt want it in a daily driver
