I've had 3.08's, 3.23's, 3.42's, and 4.10's behind my T56. Of course the 3.08'2 and 3.23's sucked behind the T56, the 3.42's weren't bad at all, but the 4.10's were awesome! These were all behind a sub-300RWHP 355 TPI motor, but still the 4.10's were awesome. When I get my LS1/M6 swap done into this car, I'm going back to 3.89's-4.56's.... depending on if I get a 9" or 12bolt. Just my $.02

That's great, I thought it is higher than this

I have 3.73, I would get 4.10 with 12bolt

Trust everyone here who says to get a 12 bolt or a 9". I learned the hard way 2 weeks ago when my 3rd set of gears in the stock 10 bolt let go on me. With the money that was spent bandaging the 10 bolt, I could have had a 12 bolt or 9" in the first place. The first clue should have been that the gears let go while shifting under stock power. DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE, IT REALLY SUCKS!

Check the parts for sale section here, and sometimes you can find a deal somewhere. That's what I did. Hell, I found a moser 9' with full spool, 4.10's, 35 spline gundrilled axles ready to go for 1600$.
