Yup, exactly my scenario. In hindsight, it may have been my tires that were hindering my efforts, or my somewhat low compression on one cylinder (was ~12% off over the other three) but in the end, I wish I had stuck with the HX transmission. It was still 'peppy' but also cruised at a nice RPM at 70 (about 2700).
I'm probably going to be buying another HX soon (~ 6 months) but I'll be going for more performance orientation over FE. The engine/transmission will be stock, but I plan on putting a GT15 turbo, upgraded suspension/decent sounding exhaust, etc etc.
