Default T56 Magnum

Evening Guys,
Question from across the pond.
I'm trying to talk myself in to a winter project of buying and installing the perfect fit T56 Magnum 6 speed from Silver Sport Transmissions. At the moment I have the M22 behind a 550hp Reher Morrison Dart little M racing engine great for the 1/4mile but not for the longer trips , my question is, am I making a wise choice?

Hey Bob.

No one responded but yes it's a good choice as long as the rear end gearing can take advantage.

You don't want a 3.08 gear because 6th could place you at 1000 RPM at 70MPH.

Make sure to do the math on the gearing.
