New PPG dog box vs second hand OS88

[khezz]

Getting to the point of my build where I'm finalising my drivetrain options. Was always planning on going for a PPG 5 speed dog box but have seen a few second hand OS88 show up which are priced very competitively. Each box has its pros and cons, I know. Car will be a daily driver 90% of the time. 700-800hp on 98ron. On the track (drag and rolling racing) will switch to E85 and hope to see 1100-1200hp. 

Which one of the 2 options do you guys think will do a better job?

I say the PPG 5 speed H pattern, but I think you really need to hear from some OS88 end users to get a better picture. I would be interested to hear who is still running one and their opinions on them.

OS88 is a very old and dated design. No gear position sensor, just a switch for the gear display, no strain gauge either. Quite agricultural as well. 

Mine lasted 300 kms and then pulled out and moved on for a PPG sequential, no comparison between them.

Thanks for your help fellas. Ended up going with OS88. Came down to price plus the 6th gear. It will handle what I want it to do.
