It's prob a 26 spline, I have a C4 and I am getting tomorrow a super street fighter TCI 3500. I have a E303 373 gear and am running a 100 shot of giggle gas once in a while namely at the track. I think most C4's are 26 spline, however I could be wrong. Hope that helps.

yea i run 3:73 also and i run 125 shot wet kit, the trans is built with hardened gears and shift kit with b&m ratchet shifter, its got a stock converter in it though, not sure why , but i didnt build trans sooooo..also i have to slap it down in 1st then shift 2nd then 3rd every time, if i put it in drive it starts out in 3rd gear.. so i have to manuely shift it every time, got any idea why? i was told they might have done that when they built the trans, not sure why though, manual valve body possibly??
