well, also it depends on the t56.. the M29 like i and some others have you will be better with a 3.73, the M29 with 3.73 are still bigger than a 94+ M6 with 4.10's.... so it all depends..

Sorry I'm new to these cars ... can you explain? I have a 93 Z28 6 speed with a T56. Are you saying I'm better off doing 3.73 than 4.10s, but 94+ are better off doing 4.10s? Why?

A quote from Speeddensity.org.
The 93 had two different manual transmissions available, both with different gearing than the 94+ cars. These were coded M28 and M29. The gear ratios were as follows:
GR - M28 -- M29 -- 94+
1 -- 3.36 -- 2.97 -- 2.66
2 -- 2.07 -- 2.07 -- 1.78
3 -- 1.35 -- 1.43 -- 1.30
4 -- 1.00 -- 1.00 -- 1.00
5 -- 0.80 -- 0.80 -- 0.74
6 -- 0.62 -- 0.62 -- 0.50
Of note: The M29 is the more rare and desireable of the two, and is very similar to the gear ratios of the newer Corvette ZO6.
The 93's got two different rear end gear ratios: The M28 came with 2.73's, the M29 got 3.23's and the A4 was available with either.

the first gear in the M29 and M28 are alot taller... than the 94+... so a final ratio with the M29 and 3.73 are still going to be higher than a 94+ with 4.10's... you go to high and you run your RPM's up way to fast at the track.... its all coming of the line... you dont want to have to shift in 1.2 seconds..... it would hurt more than help...
if any of that makes any sense....lol....

Ah that makes sense. I'm assuming there is a stamp somewhere on the trans that says what it is? I have my car on the lift right now so I can check it out if someone can tell me where to look. Thanks!
