Default T56 or TKO

Im still debating on which to get. I know that I am going to need to upgrade my rear end one of these days and I was thinking that if i went with the T56 I would go ahead and drop down to some 4:10 gears since I will have some more top end. But the TKO is a few hundred dollars cheaper....hmmm decisions decisions

yeah, i was about to buy it until i reevaluated my funds and realized my current travles witht the military are putting me in a bind until around july (when i will be 3000 miles away from my lil toy) i cant imagine lowering my gears though...i dont know how big a difference 3.55s down to 4.10s would be...might be FUN

I voted TKO simply due to the remaining funds I would have other plans for. The TKO still is a kick *** trans!
