Hi,

Last point for now, then I'll shut up. If you look at the list of T5 ID 
numbers here:

http://www.britishv8.org/articles/borg-warner-t5-id-tags.htm

you'll see that there are lots of different ratios out there. If you limit 
to reasonable choices you'll see that the jump from 2nd to third is pretty 
large, hence my suggestion that they aren't ideal for racing. But you can 
limit your choices another way - stay away from the O/D 5th that's more 
than about .8 (for example, the .63 ratio 5th for the 84 Mustang / Capri 
V8 is totally unsuitable for a Triumph)

Again, just IMHO.

Regards,
rml
