ORIGINAL: gspfunk

Your 1st gear ratio is also something to consider....T5 is 3.27 and so are some Tremec's (some are also 3.35). The T56 is 2.95 which won't be as likely to spin tires. I'm not sure about the T45, but I would imagine it's ~3.27.

Going w/ lower (numerically higher) rearend gears makes it harder to keep traction when launching/getting on it in 1st, so stickier tires would be very beneficial....otherwise it will just take some getting used to....

And don't worry about losing your top end....a friend of mine had 4.10's in his 95 cobra and could get to 120 easily and had room to spare.
TOP SPEED!!!! top end refers to the power in the upper RPM band, top speed is how fast your car will actually go, which with a T-45 and 4.10s my buddy was able to peg the speedo with 4.10s and only hit 145 with stock gears

Decode your VIN or, if you have a manual, I believe it's a Tremec 3550...... someone correct me if I'm wrong.....
