I'm a T-56 hater, plain and simple. Too long, too big around, too heavy, not enough benefit from another gear to spend that much money.

You would not be able to tell any difference in performance between a 3.73 and a 4.10 gear. My $.02 would be to run the TKO 600 you have, put a 3.73 in the rear, and cruise at 70 in the lower 2000's.

If you stick a 3.73 in it and go the route of the 325-50-15 tire that pretty much is equivalent to running the current 315-35-17 with the 3.31 so I would expect no change in gearing performance. Would you still advise using an aluminum flywheel in this instance or would you be moving to billet steel style.
