3.8 M5 versus 3.8 swapped T56

Anybody ever find a review on numbers/mileage/performance of a 3.8 with a swapped T56 versus the standard 5 speed manual?

As far as I know, Unless you're putting out 300+ HP out of your V6, the T56 would CRUSH your 3.8 unless you ran rearend gears like 5.16 or something insane. 6th Gear in the T56 has no real accelleration in LT1's and barely any in LS1's. The 3.8 wouldn't beable to handle anything from 4th gear and up... It would be a waste of money unless you were putting out some serious power.
