Default Anyone used the Tremec TKO Box on Track?

Trying to decided what box to get.

Its the only thing left for me to decide on.

Anyone used this on track? good or bad points?

Its amazin ive been telling people that the TKO is the rwd gearbox solution for about 7years & yes its still going strong & never been touched.
Fit it & forget it whatever you throw at it.
Think Brom has one in his car so should be perfect for the Track.
Keep being told you must have 6 gears but 210 in 5th is fast enough (so far)

if i put a t5 in im always going to drive it like a panzy in 1st 2nd and be worried about holding it in 3rd.

I dont want my driving style to revolve round the box.

dont want a noisey box either, i.e straight cut.

not sure i understand that , dont get me wrong the T5 is not a race box and the ratios aren't my choice but i dont think YOU will have a problem whatever engine you have in the car , youd be surprised how quick you can go And theyre cheap !
