I have been running the numbers in a few calculators. 3.55 and TKO look good but going from 1.1 in forth to .64 in 5th looks like it hurts. T56 with 3.89 or 4.11 looks a little better plus the 1.1 to .74 looks a little more fun. I live in San Diego and will probably never hit 6th around here, maybe on a Vagas run or going to Pomona. I hated how soon I had to shift into second on my Super T-10, these don't look much better. Looks like about 20' feet for normal driving on the T-56 and 16' for the TKO. I like this site but it's starting to bum me out a little. Since I've been going through the forums I've found out my bumpsteer, and turning radius are going to be horrible. My Rear suspension is going to skip around corners due to it binding up, and I haven't even got the thing out the garage yet. Wish I had found this place sooner. Anybody know where I can find some spherical bearings to retro fit some Hotchkis lower trailing arms? Any body running the A/F/X spindles?
