I'm looking to pick up a t56 magnum for my car soon now they have the 2.66 first gear or 2.97 first I'm not too sure which one to go for I have 3.73 in my car with a procharger through a t45 as for which tranny I heard the 2.97 first is a wide gear? An is good for the track? I could be wrong though but I don't really race the car a once in a while I'll do a roll an dig race but mostly the car is just street driven cruiser if anyone could tell me which one is best for my needs that would be great

I bought the wide ratio (2.97 first and .50 6th) because it was closer to the T45 first gear (3.37) and had the overdrive 6th gear. I am running 4.10s and a procharger. The .50 6th is real nice on the highway.

Lots of people like the close ratio (2.66 first and .64 6th).

You think the 2.66 gear ratio would be good for my procharged cobra? i do alot of stop and go driving and sometimes highway

I stuck with the wide ratio with my '01 Cobra motor with a P1SC (with D1SC impeller) and a 3.4" pulley.
