I am looking to upgrade my transaxle and looking for input on the pros and cons of a S5D vs the Fortin FRS5. I have a large 4 seat car with a supercharged LS2. I currently have a Fortin wide gear 4 speed. I understand the FRS5 is pretty close to plug and play but the S5D is substantially cheaper. What do the experts say?
 
I have the FRS4 and it's noisy... But it works awesome, shifts smoothly, and holds up to a fairly high amount of power. The main drawback is the cost of repair. Gears (especially the R&P) and parts are very expensive. Mine went 7 years before a full rebuild.

I would consider this FRS5. Plug and play option is very nice! I had no issues with the FRS5 i had in a prior class 1 car.
