Default Need help selecting gear ratios please!

Hey everyone.

I've slowly been accumulating a lot of parts for my 240z build

I plan to run an LS3 crate engine with a T56 Magnum transmission. I just had a few questions before I order my transmission which I plan to do today!

I just want to verify that I need the 26 spline input, 31 spline output.

Then also which set of ratios would be better suited to the Z car. Car will be used for weekend drives and some time at the drag strip.

Here were my two options.

Option 1:

1st - 2.66
2nd - 1.78
3rd - 1.3
4th - 1
5th - 0.8
6th - 0.63

Option 2:

1st - 2.97
2nd - 2.10
3rd - 1.46
4th - 1
5th - 0.74
6th - 0.50

Any help would be greatly appreciated! I do plan to start a project thread as soon as my garage wiring is finish and I can really tear into the car!

Thanks

You should read the 2.66 vs 2.97 thread that's in this forum right now. Good info that may help you.

^ do this. 2.66 for that light car. Match rear gear to driving purpose.
