Default 6 Speed gear ratios

I've been told by one of the guys at the dyno shop that 4th gear in my car is not a 1:1 gear, but 5th is, instead. When asked why, he told me it was because of my 4.10's. Now, I realize changing rear end gears doesn't effect transmission ratios, but IS my 4th gear a 1:1 gear????

He's going to do the dyno over in 4th, after the work is done...

4th is your 1:1 gear on a stock ZF-6 speed Corvette.

the guy at the dyno shop is a moron.

4th gear is 1:1, 5th is an overdrive, .80:1 or so, and 6th is super-duper overdrive, .51:1 or so.

The ratios on the T56 are about the same.

But you just hope your first doctor isn't so incompitent...

"Yes, Mr. 666, no one told you? Your heart is actually down by your belly button. I don't know where you got the information it was in your chest. How silly."
