Lee's allows you to hold whatever gear your in to higher RPM, which may not be such a big thing. Don't most trans do that?
It's a significant difference in $$, but I've been roadside due to a transmission failure and know that at such a point I would feel pretty stupid for not paying the extra $$. |
just browsed those quickly, are you referring to a full manual valve body? I would imagine extreme would offer that.. just keep in mind if you've never owned one, that it requires shifting up and down just like a standard.. kind of a racing thing but gets annoying on the street..
if you're not budget strapped or expecting to shell it after one weekend at the strip, I would lean toward the extreme as it sounds a little more robust built for longevity but I'm no expert.. dyno tested is reassuring as well as the extensive positive reviews and customer photos with front wheels off the ground
good luck!
