Default tranny question

what are the benefits of putting a six speed in, if my T5 has a .68 5th gear & my buddies camaro has the same 6th gear ratio?

I have driven a foxbody with a six speed and IMO there isnt a benifit.

Theoreticly though you should be able to stay in your powerband better with a six speed.

I'm putting in a EFI 351W roller engine that's been dynoed at 468HP & 402lb/ft & was wondering if the stock T5 will handle it or not. Can I rebuild it with stronger internals? I also have 4.10s so my highway rpm's are higher, anything I can do about that? thanx
