Which rear gear ratio with a T56 in a 408 Stroker???
I am swapping out my FLT Level 5 4L60e for a T56. What gear ratio would you suggest and why with the mods I have listed in my sig. I currently have 4.10's in my Moser 12bolt but that whine a bit and was going to swap them out anyway. The car is a weekend cruiser and I hit the track a few times a year.

My choices I was thinking about were 4.11's, 4.30's or 4.56's. I was leaning towards the 4.30's but wasn't sure which would give me the best performance. I run 27" QTP on 15" rims at the track and 275-40-17 MT Drag radials on the street.

Ultimately, I think 4.30's would be safe for your application.
I plan on running juice, so the 4.56's are WAY too much for me. But a fun as hell on motor.
