Come on Greg, that's what traction control is for. That would be your left and right foot on the clutch and gas. I wouldn't want a deeper gear in my car. I run a 3.73 with a tko600 and it's about right. 1st gear is plenty short and traction is a huge issue if you don't slip the clutch or modulate the gas pedal. It also allows me to run all my autocrosses in 2nd gear and not need to shift. Which version on the t56 are you running Mario?

WELL THAT SETTLES IT -- We both run 3:73's -- so then -- so should everyone else!!

Hard to modulate my torque converter... and I wear magnetic shoes and the floor is made of metal. It'll hook up when it gets done spinning!!

I will be using a 3.89 with my SBC-T56-9"-335/30/18 combo. I should be at 1800 rpm @ 65mph

That's a pretty important step before you choose a gear.
