lets hear some opinions guys...one group of friends says t-56 another group of friends tells me TKO

lookin to bolt it up to a procharged LQ4 w/ 408 stroke unsure on heads/cam w/ nitrous & meth inject......all opinions welcomed

 

i have a T56 in mine . 460 rwhp and it hasnt failed me yet.. i think it may come out eventually for a 4l80 though

 

Is this gonna be a stock F-body T56? Or will it be an upgraded unit?

My stock T56 in my '99 Z28 wasn't very happy at 375hp, and the Camaro is a lot lighter than a truck.

 

Myself, I'd say go for the 6 spd. but do some upgrades to it. T56's & clutches seem to lead a rough life in our heavy trucks. Then again, something w/. power won't be all that friendly to em either. A part of me still wants to do T56, but w/. what I just threw in, it's not gonna happen. Those Magnum T56 boxes are stout pieces if that's what you're after, but they're $$$$. Yes, I checked.

 

Well the whole idea of me wanting either is the idea of havingstd. Shift in a truck (something car makers today have shied away from) and as much as I want the 6 gears the tremec 5 spd is designed for high performance and I'm hoping to be in the 600 - 800 rwhp range....and better yet the tko is like 500 cheaper than the t56

 

True on TKO is HP, but if ya spend enuff, a T56 is too. I'd really have to love a T56 Magnum tho, for what they cost. I though Pam Anderson would have to .... me & even then IDK.

 

also remeber that these hp number ratings dont work for trucks, they weigh a 1000 punds more than a mustang or f-body. if you go through and up grade the t56 it will be fine but a stock t56 with a 400 whp truck will come apart, belive me look at the pics i posted

 

Pics? Where?
