yeah thats the whole purpose of getting it, better acceleration in not only 5th, but all gears, but not so insanely bad as just getting an SI tranny altogether, or something else that'll leave me in the upper half of the RPM range during freeway cruising.

he's selling it to me for cheap, and its nice to have the peace of mind of knowing that my tranny is in great condition.

i'll swap it out when i get my ITR clutch/Toda flywheel combo.
