That's not true. Most 4.56/57 will whine no matter what.
I used ti have 4.77's those did not whine at all. For daily driving I would not want a longer gear than that really. For a track it might be different but no experience so can't comment on that.
I really don't see how 4.44's for daily driving would be worth it at all. 4.77's already are noticeable but not anything really insane so a 4.44 seems like a waste strictly for feel and making the car feel better down low etc.

A properly installed gear will not whine.
The 4.57 gear set will make some noise, but it is not a whine. The 4.56 gear set saw as close to stock as you can get when installed right.

I may be wrong.. but Im fairly confident that AP2 Transmission, gears 1-4 are ~5% shorter and gears 5 and 6 are ~5% longer?
Thats what Ive always heard anyways..

1.16 in ap1 trans and 1.206 in ap2
thats why between the shorter reduction gear and the carbon coated synchros, the ap2 trans in an ap1 is an awesome swap imho.
I just figured it was information that was never updated heh

The 4.56 and 4.57 gear sets have been discontinued for some time now... contact s2kpuddydad on these forums... he gets a hold of the Richmond 4.57 sets used from time to time... that's who built my stage 2 4.57 diff... goodluck
