I suspect that it will handle it just fine

An n/a car would benefit more from the RX8 6 spd swap than a TII swap

I think if you cryo'ed the whole tranny you would never have a problem with it.

Like paint....

I tend to agree

As far as paint goes I'm still going back and forth about it. Not sure if I want to leave it Red or do a color change. Either way I'm gonna feel the need to pull the engine for the paint stage. It will really bother me if it doesn't look good under the hood too. And if I'm gonna go that far I might as well change the color.

In my opinion it's still less expensive and confusing than having to deal with a turbo transmission in an otherwise N/A car.

Absolutely correct. Not to mention the 5.11 gears and Hoosiers that put way more strain on a tranny.
