Default What gear ratio

I'm having my tranny rebuily by T56rebuilds. They recommended sticking with stock gear ratio, but just wanted to see what you thought. The car is a street driven daily driver.But will also be putting down 9xx rwhp w/ race gas. about 750 rwhp on low boost. I want it to be as NASTY as possible with retaining good street manners. It will mostly be street raced.. from a dig and some from a roll. It's a turbocharged WS6( T88 391 LS2)

There are several ratios you can choose from both require such a long time frame it would be up to you. The ones to choose from are 2.66 1st and 2.97 1st and the easiest to get. When I say a while you might be looking at close to 8 weeks on a custom build as not sure why but everyone seems to be having a hard time with stock right now. Not sure where the shortage is but heck, I wish they would hurry. The transzilla is a great transmission as I have sent a few guys there way that could not wait on the time. If I am not mistaken the tranzilla is about 3 weeks out and not sure on the internals but they do say it will hold 1200rwhp. I try to tell everyone in a time crunch custom rebuilds are not for them. Just because we say 8 weeks is not 100% set in stone. It is completely up to the machinist, material availability and the machine shop time frame. Sorry to get off the subject but I saw in one other post you were in a hurry to get it back. I want to make sure you are aware it will take time on a custom unit like this.

Thanks,
Amber
