T56, Twins and gears.
Whats the general rule of thumb when selecting gears to go with turbos? The bulk of the build is in my signature, I DID want 4.11s but I thought about how fast I'd be rowwing thru the gears, and the lack of load. FWIW I'll be running MT ET STREETS 315/35/17 in the rear

I have heard of turbo guys going with a lower numerical gear (higher mechanical). I believes this give the turbo time to build boost and keeps you in your power range longer. I believe a 4.11 would not be benficial for a turbo car. Also, you may be making an awful lot of power for a 4.11 gear. I bet you will be faster with a taller gear. I would listen to guys that have built turbo cars before first though.
