if that ***** of a cobra owner decides to buy his damn auto then yes I am. I'm kinda skeptical on it though.

So purp brought up a good point, what about for a t56?

...the difference between the two seems minimal. 4.30's would feel like it pulls better but 4.10's over stock will still pull harder than the stock 3.27's.

I would go with whichever you find first.

Nick Mckinney posted a couple vids of an orange GT a few months back that was running 4.10s, 125 shot, MHS nitrous cams, T56, and yadda yadda ya. I noticed that the owner of that car swapped to 4.30s since he had the 6th gear with the T56.

I say 4.10's but I may be biased since I am getting them in two days lol. 4.30's if you go t56

i dont see how the t56 changes anything. isn't the 6th gear of the t56 very similar to the 5th in a tremec? and it's just got more of a step in between with the 5th of the t56. thats what i thought it was anyways. if this is a manual car which it deff sounds like i would certainly not go 4.30. imo you dont need it and you'd just be wasting money with gas and what not and 1st gear will always be useless unless you've got warmed up dr's or slicks.

I know you can mix and match to get it close, but the gear will eat itself after a while and quit working. Only way to get it right is the speedcal

The t56 has a first gear of 2.97 versus ours which is 3.38. But the fact that the t56 has a 6th gear don't matter at all. The 6th gear of the t56 is the same gear ratio as the t3650 5th gear so cruising would be the exact same. Only t56 that would be different is the viper spec or the new t56 magnum. They have a .50 6th gear versus the normal t56 that has a .62 6th gear.

I know they say "don't fear the gear", but I would go 4.10's, that is plenty of gear.
