thing is so sex, depends on what sort of driving you with with it man, aswell as what you want out of the car, being auto i wouldnt go anything over 3.9s tho, 3.7 would be decent for all round i guess as if you do a bit of highway driving 3.9s would most likely rev quite high

much the same man, honestly... there is stuff all difference between the two. I have 3.7's and PROGMH has 3.9's, we dont have alot of rev difference at 100km/h this car would be mad with a T56 in it... did you melt the gearbox?

yeh man how did u know?well it was the mechanics fault.he didnt do the clamp up tight on the fuel reg to the fuel rail n it pissed fuel everywhere n caused a fire and ****ed the loom all the way to the auto and short circuited the auto.had to get new gear box.****in 3,000 later.new t700 box with stronger internals n a stage 2 like the last box plus new loom n labour.****in mechanic wont pay for it.should get the car back monday or tuesday
