Although very unlikely, a T-45 is still a possibility. But I wouldn't have brought it up myself except OP did mention T-56 (which we know it isn't as mentioned above).
Also, the OP said the person he got the car from 'heard' it was 'changed' to a tremec... I was keying in on the changed part rather than the tremec part and that it was hearsay. Dealing with third(plus)-party information is never easy.
I suppose most of this is a moot point now anyway if he has been banned, unless he comes in as a guest and just reads it.

May be a T45 if it was replaced?
4.10's would be gears put in the rear differential... would give the car a lil more take off at the expense of top speed. An easy well to tell is to put a mark on the driveshaft and a mark on the wheel and count how many times the driveshaft goes around to how many times the wheel goes around.

but thanks for the misinformation

Wait....What? That makes no sense. 4:10's increase acceleration over the 3:37's but should cut the top end speed potential......You are the one with misinformation...

Everything else being equal (<<< very key part), your theoretical (<<< another key part) top speed with 3.27's is faster than with 4.10's. That ratio is the number of revolutions of the driveshaft that are needed for 1 revolution of the axle. So if you are running 1:1 in the transmission (typical 4th gear on a 3650 or 3rd gear on the auto) and the engine is spinning at 5000 RPMs, with 3.27's the wheels would be spinning at just over 1529 RPMs and with 4.10's the wheels would be spinning at only just over 1219 RPMs. Do you really need me to take the math one more step and convert those to MPH?
Most people that put 4.10's in have also made other improvements which allows them to have the 'real' faster top speed, and the acceleration benefit of the 4.10's allow them to get to that top speed faster.
And while I am correcting you... when making a comparison, the word you want is THAN... THEN has to do with time.
