FWIW, I have 3.27 gears and decided on the 2.66 first gear for my T56 magnum. 2000rpm at 72mph in 6th gear. It will make first gear much more usable and the turbo will love the extra load on the engine.

Seems like all the turbo guys are going with the narrow ratio T56, I went wide 2.97 1st, .50 6th w/ 4:10 s since the coyote loves the rpms, so follow Scotts lead on it...

Because when you turn the wheel and it throws up the rocks as you come off the turn out of the track or going into the burnout box and glue it rock chips the bottoms of the fenders . I hear the rocks as I go through and it makes me cringe .

I used to put a coat of vaseline on the rear lower fenders to protect them and also so the rubber from burnouts was easier to remove. Geddes make a burnout gel as well.

I saw a video on power nation and the guys at the track were spraying the rear with wd-40 so the rubber didn't stick.
