Wrong!!! Now why the hell on earth would you put 2.73's in a 6 speed? You could not use 6th gear till 80mph. Only Automatics had 2.73 and performanced optioned A4 had 3.23!

Something doesnt add up because you should have raped that LS1 even with 2.73's. I was beating LS1's with just Long Tubes, Catback and a Tune.

actually a little FYI 93's had two different spec'd 6 speeds one for the 2.73 rear end and one for the 3.23 rear end

heres the ratios listed in order 2.73, 3.23, and 94-02 spec'd t-56's

1 2 3 4 5 6
3.36 2.07 1.35 1.00 .80 .62 2.73 gears 400 ft/lbs tq capacity
2.97 2.07 1.43 1.00 .80 .62 3.23 gears 400 ft/lbs
2.66 1.78 1.30 1.00 .74 .50 3.42 gears 450 ft/lbs

but anyway back to the post with the mods you have in your sig you should have walked all over any stock LS1 f-body i've got the mods in my sig and most stock ls1's i dont have a problem with
