I agree 4.56 with a M6 even on the juice if your only planning on running th 1/8th. 4.30 if you plan on 1/4

430s and a 28inch tire should be perfect imo. and why the change to the six speed? and auto with your mods will run faster than a sixspeed, especially in the 8th

I'd have gone with a gherico tranny before putting an M6 in it if you wanted to shift... that t56 isn't gonna be happy for long if you're racing alot.
