What are you running?<br /><br />The stock fox setup wasn't at all a high rpm performer. More made for low and mid range. U add gears and u rip through the low and mid range faster and compound on the fox's poor traction. If u add a 6 speed u will be able to gain better fuel mileage and stay in ur mid range for a lil longer. <br /><br />However I would bet a bolt on fox with 4.10s and a 6 speed will still be slower than a HCI fox with a 5 speed and let's say 3.73's. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>50Reasons</b> <br /><small>Member # 6452</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2009,9,14,2,34,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Throw 20" wheels on it then when your at the track swap it out for the 15" wheels <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>91fox</b> <br /><small>Member # 7842</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2009,9,14,10,10,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> running a 6 speed would not make a difference.i would stick with your T5 because of weight savings over a T56, and the T5 robs less energy to turn it.<br /><br />all the T5's TKO's have a final gear that ranges from .063-.068 which is about the same<br /><br />the ford racing T56 (for push rod motors) has a final gear of .063<br /> <br />only 6 speed that would make a little difference would be the viper spec T56<br /><br />final gear viper spec T56 .050 <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>92stangLX</b> <br /><small>Member # 3252</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2009,9,14,10,42,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> What year car and what motor combo? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>cflores</b> <br /><small>Member # 7319</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2009,9,15,0,6,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Its a 90' foxbody gt, typhoon intake w 1" space, ported performer heads, e-cam, bbk shortys, 1.7 RR, #24 injectors. going to supercharge it, and stroke it out(331) next spring and the tranny will be the tremec T56 that is used in the viper, vette, and the aston martin's. sixth gear ratio is 0.62 fifth is 0.80. laughing gas might be in the mix to, not sure if want to take it that far yet. im debating over 3.73's or 4.10's but my concern is that I will be reving to high when im on the highway, or would it be like im rollin 3.73's with a 5-speed if i slap the 6-speed in? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>50DADDY</b> <br /><small>Member # 3076</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2009,9,15,1,32,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> 4.10's arent bad at all in 5th gear. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>50Reasons</b> <br /><small>Member # 6452</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2009,9,15,3,58,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> I have 4:10 on my coupe if you don't mind keeping at 65 to 70 on the freeways at 22 to 2500 rpm go for it but I had a mild hci combo that was stock bottom end with b cam 1.7 rr cobra intake 65 throttle body with 17 " wheels T the track.
