However you do have fuel injection etc, so I'm sure the computer will help out when it senses anything, so maybe your good. Thing about it is that on my car the 3:73's definetly help me launch the car, easier to not spin the tires, which is nice with over 600hp, but it just takes too long to get into the power band and rev out. BTW I do have a pretty huge cam, so that may be the reason of the bad drivability in 6th, changing gears isnt' hard or expensive, unless you need a different carrier so if you don't like them you can just change them out.

I don't know.. I had 3:73's in my 2000 SS and 6th was usable, although the think was such a low RPM that it was an MPG deal only.

Like I said, if I had known I was going to end up with a .50 T56 I would have got to 3.90s.. eventually I will rebuild the trans to the gearing I want. Right now I just want it DONE!! lol - Will see how this goes and then adjust the gears or the trans from there. It's a process

Must be your cam. stock 4th gen Z28s have a .50 6th and they are quite drivable (although sluggish given the low RPM).
