Obvious upsides is you have more torque off boost/on boost better spool capability etc.
Downsides is too much torque low down.
I'd love for someone to come up with a proper solution to the chocolate gearbox's.

Yer that was my thinking behind it though it would have to be worth it to justify the extra £1000-1200 depending if you have it rebored to 80mm. Extra low down torque could be reduced by giving more low down cam overlap - just moving the power further up the rev range. Though then if i end up revving it more im going to need stiffer valve springs etc depending on my chosen cams. Lots to decide upon lol. Would just be nice to build something slightly different to things that have already been done.
