Ive got a Fbody t56 in my car and 195/60/15s(lol) with 3.46

I really find the gearing perfect 1st gear is usable and on the freeway in 6th you can just sort of idle along

In 4th gear it pulls from 60mph like a train

[Wanganstyle]

Yes its the same one you built. I think I'm going to run like it is for now. I should have no problem turning these little wheels. My tire height is 25.68 must F-body guys run 26"-28" tire with T56 with 3.73 gearing. I'll think it'll be fine. If not I'll have you build me something.



By the way, you did a great shop on that diff

Glad it’s served you well

3.15 might help for traction actually; I forgot you are fitting a blower.


Only one way to find out .....send it !

You bought a sequential shifter? Details please

Semi sequential, still uses the clutch https://www.s1sequential.com/

[Supadave]

Yes.

3,73 is good; going to regear the 3,15 I built
For you years ago??

Time for your car to progress past the blower setup [emoji4]

The Motorsports hardware lsx e36
Uses a 3,9 I built.

The norm range for a lsx + t56 or cd009 I suggest is 3,6 or so for Bmw conversions.

Bmw folk are used to much more closer gearing than the lsx crowd

This is the heat exchanger or "brick" that goes in the supercharger lid. Going to reinforce it so it can hold up to more BOOST. They have been known to cave-in with higher boost levels.
