   just wondering what the best gearbox is for the vts engine, with cams, 4-2-1, induction kit.i know it depends what you want in terms of top speed or acceleration but i was just wondering what the best alround straight fit box is and what ones other people have tried?
   thanks

   The gear ratios are the same, it's the final drive that's different.
   
   1.4xsi is the 'quicker' box, but the S2 is a good compromise. Tbh there isn't much in them.
