I think this helps on a track where the long straight isn't high enough to hit top speed. A shorter fifth gives more torque instead.

Josh,
5R came stock with the short 5th gear [35:29 (0.829)], along with all Turbo gear boxes. Some people actually take the short gear out and put the longer 5th from the NA gear boxes for higher top speed.
Nice gearbox! Good luck with the sale!
