that's probably not to do with the gearbox, that'll be due to the engine.

The standard one, nothing will make a difference as it's not the gearbox which is the problem.

Depends if you want more top end (so less RPM at 70mph), or be quicker off the mark.

Change the flywheel/clutch while your there too.

Id go for a wide ratio F15, might be hard to find though.

even if he did this, it wouldn't reach maximum revs in 6th gear, no chance on earth. You're better off with just the standard F15CR to achieve speed quickly while still using all the gears properly. But 6 gears does sound cool
