Nope, all manual LT1's came with the Borg Warner T56. Poor LT1 cars don't get the love they deserve.

yea i have an a4 car, originally came with 2.73's. swapped in an '01 ws6 rear end with 3.42's, then broke them, put in another set of 3.42's then got a set of 3.23's for free from a friend.

and like posted above all lt1's have t56's as well. 3.4 & 3.8's got the t5

so back to the question..

is 3.42 to 3.23 a big enough of a difference to make it worth the trouble? it'll only keep me in boost for like 4-5mph longer in each gear

This would be the first year for me if I can make it. I'm more of a lurker type so I don't know many of you guys, but I figure I'll meet a few folks this year at the event. I've got some work trips on the books for mid to late May, so we'll see how it all falls.

I'd be bringing my LS2 C6. It's pretty much just a cam-only 6 speed car, but it's got a decent overall resume though- a little exterior, a little interior, built drivetrain and suspension. I haven't run it since '09, but it was trapping 122 back then and I haven't added much in the way of power parts.

I'm looking forward to this GTG, as it'll be the first event I've attended in a long time, and first in CA, period.
