Default T56 ratio swap?

i want to swap my 5th & 6th to a more race friendly ratio. are there any options out there? something like a .83 5th and .70 6th?
the car is used for road racing.

I got mine from RPM Transmissions. I have .80 for 5th, and .62 for 6th with ALOT of other upgrades.

It is possible to a certain degree. The overdrives you are looking for come with the 03-04 Cobra T56( also retaining the 1-4 ratios). You can also get close to those OD ratios with an aftermarket model T56 but the 1-4 ratios will also change. To build these into your Fcar castings should be left to a trans guy.Bottom line is you can't just throw the different gears in there.

Unless you had gears made, you have a Cobra set and a shortened 03/04 Cobra output shaft to get it to fit in an Fcar casting set.This is not really a do it at home build.
