Ford Racing Six speed??? I think its M-7003-H you should be able to look that up with ease 
I believe I read its rated @ 440lbs/ft. torque
I personally like the D&D Performance Viper T-56. Rated @ 550lbs/ft. torque
2.66 1st
1.78 2nd
1.30 3rd
1.1 4th
.74 5th
.50 6th
What do you like Scott??

G force. $5k, but worth every penny 
Just as an FYI, the T56, while strong, is not bulletproof. My friend runs them in his LT1, and he's had to freshen his up twice in a year of street driving with the occasional hard jaunt. Its on the ground right now with a broken 2nd gear synchro. Plus we've seen on a few that they have a tendancy to "hang" on the 2-3 gear shift. It won't go into any gear for a minute until you pry it out of its spot, then it will be fine. This is with factory originals and rebuilds.

T56 is not a tranny for drag racing. U want a tranny with a big first gear ratio. Scott if I were u I would get the TKO. It has a bigger input shaft and also I think tailshaft. They take a beating. First gear ratio of the TKO is 3.27 and with a 5th gear of .68 which isn't bad for cruising. With the TKO u have to change your clutch disk. -Mark
