FWIW I have the T56 but with the 3:45 diff ratio. 1st-4th are good (around town and at the track). 5th is good for cruising at above 90. 6th is useless - even at 110kph (Engine at 1500rpm sounds like it labours)

Even tried changing into 5th at Phillip Island this week at 210Kph (was doing about 5900 rpm) - no difference, probably a horsepower v Cobra "brick" aero deficiency problem :-)

Wish Mike did my box conversion as I keep changing from 4th into 5th when going for 3rd. (Then I normally spin off as am in wrong gear)
