Personally if you daily your car you won't be racing therefore wouldn't have a need for gears as such. It would be best to stick with the helical cut synchro PPG set. But when your spending 5k+ on them I'd rather get the straight cuts plus PPG only offers a 1-4 gear set so you still have 5th and in some cases 6th gears to use on highways so noise is more then stock but who's car here who needs a built trans isn't louder then stock already?

yeah man this winter hoping to send it out to get the cage done first then the twin disk needs to be ordered and some other stuff is gona get done.... still gona daily it, i cant afford a another car ATM, and now im regreting selling my daily
from when i was building oh well
My mother and father always told me to not mod the car if it was my daily. I spent 5 years not listening. I'd be in the garage till 2 or 3 am fixing my car so I could drive to work the next morning. I realized once I blew my Motor it was time to get a daily. I've had it ever since. I'll never make the mistake again. Plus I can't keep my foot of the gas pedal

Wow lots of good advice so far but I'm still unsure what to do .I have heard s/c guys break 1st and 2 nd and us turbo guys break 3 rd and 4 th which I have experienced once already .This may be a stupid question but I believe it's a valid one that will help me and others so here goes .Could I run a stock 1st, 2nd gear and do a ppg sycro set 3,4 as that would likely do the trick for my set up as I don't throw much boost at it in 1 st and 2 nd anyway and have never had an issue with either gear hell I mis shifted 2 nd gear this summer and it probably saw huh 13-15,000+ rpms really not sure but it was unhurt by it lol I got lucky in some aspects of that over rev I guess .I do run a twin disc on the street and really don't mind it much the one thing that helps is trying to rev match it though as the engagement can be harsh if you don't rev match and still run the stock clutch fork / set up.The Daily driver thing is also good advice Adam I couldn't imagine trying to daily a boosted k and beat on it and expect long term reliability no matter how well it's built .
You and that bubble ain't nothin but trouble
I'm sure you could run the 3/4 gear set with no issue. I'd just stick with the 5speeds 1/2. And I'm sure it would give you some peace of mind.
