Mate I dont know if this is a help but I had a 3.5 diff ratio on a c4 gearbox in a xc falcon 4.1 litre. It went crap. It would slow the car down at high speed and rev its head right off. .

sounds like your C4 was from a truck or something.

Why not use a BTR trans? Wouldnt you be going backwards technology wise with a C4?

the BTR can't handle high HP.
you're toying with trouble if you go beyond 200rwkw... and its expensive to get the BTR to handle more reliably. A C4 will handle the power, but ofcourse thats at the expence of drivability.

Someone on this forum has a C10 behind a 5.0 AU. Can't remember the members nic, but it's a maroon/burgundy ute. Might be worth a chat to him.

If you are going to make serious power, why not ease the diff ratio back a bit for the C4? I'm planning on running 3.00:1 on my XP with a C4 to make it highway friendly.
An alternative might be the Mustang AOD 4 speed transmission(Comes in Mechanical and Electronic versions). It has its problems, but what doesnt. A few places in the states like lentech re-engineer them to iron out the problems.

the BTR would be better with a higher ratio final drive due to its s**t first and second ratios? just a little expensive to strengthen the BTR.

my old f100 ambo had a c10 and 3.9 nine inch 15 inch tyres and it reved pretty hard at freeway speeds c4 and c10 are not much different i think, it would pull a kenworth no problem but chewed fuel at an amazing rate, with that diff i wouldnt have anything but an overdrive box , any one seen the (gear vendors) site . i wouldnt do it
