Vertigate or V-Gate 2 in Abody pics?

yea i know, the t5 was a stepping stone to a tko for me since my bellhousing is drilled for both...i havent even driven the t5 yet, but i dont plan to go easy, so i know its a ticking time bomb lol...i heard that passon has a slick shifted gearset that is street/strip compatible...im thinking though now of just going to the 4 speed with the low gearset (3.09 first) after the t5 breaks, but its all up in the air since i gotta break it first...apparently there are a few tricks to ease your fingers for street driving a v-gate, like cutting the spring for the gate so its easier to pull up on...id like to know how much power an 833 can take (23 spline and 18 spline versions) before i go to one

Don't go 3.09 first gear unless you have 2.90's or higher, its like having a truck tranny.

now, does anyone have pics of a vertigate, and a bench seat? or am I going to have to make a new reverse lever, and possibly move it forward?
