Hey guys,
I have a 97 Cobra with 25k mi on it that I build to replicate the 97 Cobra I had in my younger years. The engine is stock and I love the way it drives with 4.30s, but still want to take this car on longer highway cruises. I'm in a situation in life were I can mod things how I want and I believe I'd like to drop a T56 into the car so I can take advantage of the .5 ratio 6th gear for highway cruising.
There is 2 T56 magnums available with the same 4-6 trans ratio, but their 1-3 are different. Looking for opinions from those who know more than me. I've looked at RPMs on an excel spread sheet and the TUET11011 seems to be a good fit. The gear ratio
Thoughts?
TUET11011
1st 2.97
2nd 2.10
3rd 1.46
4th 1
5th .74
6th .50
VS
TUET11430
1st 2.66
2nd 1.78
3rd 1.30
4th 1
5th .74
6th .50
