Right, but do any aftermarket companies make different gears for them? For some cars they're so cheap it's a joke... like $150 in some cases.

I see what your saying, as far as aftermarket gears go, its usually a waste unless your pushing big numbers, as the stock gears hold power up to 400-500HP, hell the race car we built didn't have any problems pushing 703 to the wheels, but 3rd gear did sheer all the teeth off a few weeks ago.
The factory GSR, and ITR tranies have great gearing.

So you'd replace an entire transmission just to get better gearing? I thought the whole point was just to get better gears for acceleration / the style of racing you want to do. I don't think you necessarily need bullet proof gears, but I would think it would be way cheaper just to buy the gears if it's possible.
