Hey everyone,

I have an LS2 swapped Mitsubishi 3000gt that I am wanting to put a T56 Magnum in. I am unsure which ratio to go with and want to see if you guys had any advice. The goal of the car is to be a track/canyon car, no drag racing. Engine wise I will be installing a mild cam and supporting mods. The rear end ratio is 3.307 and tires are 24.5 inches tall. What would you guys recommend for my situation?

Thanks,
ACoop

Re: the 2.9x / 0.63 Magnum,

Your tires are shorter and your rear gear is taller than an LS2 GTO. Go test drive one. Gears 1-4 are near identical to a Magnum wide ratio. They are evenly spaced but wider percentage drop (than the 2.66 boxes.)

5-6 are a little taller in the GTO than the Magnum.

If you find you really want the 1-4 closer together, the 2.66 unit is an option. It wouldn't hurt to drive something with those ratios.

Id recommend the 2.66 because first gear is useless in the other ratio. Ive got 3.27 with 25.6” tires and its great

Given the short tires, I would go with the 2.66 / 0.50 version. Personally I really like the .50 overdrive for the highway. I like being able to cruise at 75MPH at 1800RPM.

I think ultimately the answer will be based on what is important to you.

The close ratio for street and road course racing and the deeper first for drag launches.
