food for thought what do you plan on using the car for ?do you plan on autocrossing?taking it on long road trips?weekend drag racing.thats the first ? the second is what motor and howmuch hp.tq.have had many cars with 411 gears and they work good for a auto but not as well for a stick you just have to shift to much and gas milage suffers bad.I would give up a little hole shot for some extra milage and drivability for the street.but an autocross car for a short track would be a different story.you might be at the top of your preformance level of that t56 and with a deaper gear you will put more stress on the tranny.and fry tires alot easier..I think greg is on track with his calculations need more info before gearing can be figured for your optimum fun factor.
