...but that tranny doesn't have the nice .50 6th gear either. And truthfully, unless you're a drag racer, the taller 1st gear isn't that big of a deal.

Like everything else, its a compromise.

should have gotten the '00R spec t56, w/ the 2.97 first gear...wouldn't have killed your acceleration so much...

The main reason why I went with the Viper T56 was for duribility and with close to 600 ft tq capacity rating that the viper trans has, I dont think I will have to worry about the trans in my cobra breaking anytime soon. Once I finish putting in the the 430 gears, the rpms in 6th at 80 mph will be less than with the 327 gears and the stock T3650!:pepper:

Does that tranny bolt up to our bellhousings? I havent seen many for sale anywhere, and the few times I come across one its very expensive.
