Okay, so i need some advice on what setup is best for my new lsx build. I am parting out my sr20det setup which includes BNIB cd009 aluminum DS, Gktech brackets & mounts, gktech shifter adapter, autotech cd009 adapter plate, SS lines and everything else needed to mate it to a sr20det.

Since I am now going lq4/9 motor, I have to decide whether to keep the cd009 (77k miles on it) & get the adapter pieces for the lsx build or sell everything and buy a tremec t56 transmission.

Some people say that the gears are a bit short in the cd009 for the ls motors (running a 3.6 gear ratio with my 1.5 hlsd) and after looking at a few cd009-lsx adapters it seems like the pricing will add up quickly for both the cd009 & sourcing a t56. So i wanted to feedback on which setup may be best for the money & if the extra cost of the t56 is justified by better fitment/performance.
