Another good question. 5th gear is obviously of no benefit in an autocross 
where you never get out of 2nd, but that synchro on first can be a benefit 
to some styles of autocross. I won't pretend to be that good, I generally 
get it into second by the time I get to the first gate and never touch the 
shifter again until the end of the run.

Back to the Judson, the concept at the time was that a Judson on a 948 made 
it comparable to a 1275, right? So perhaps we should simply bump the car 
from the under 1200cc class into the over 1200cc class? And likewise with a 
5-speed? Either mod bumps you up a class.

Opinions are welcome.
