I dont know if this has been attempted in the past (I am guessing it has somewhere along the way)

has anyone ever thought about putting an Allison transmission behind a high powered motor? It has been tried and beaten all to hell and has been proven to be a damn strong tranny from what I know. Would you have to run a stand alone computer system to control the tranny functions? how would the converter mate up etc etc... I know it will bolt up to a GENIII bell housing but how about the deails.... I was just thinking about the extra gear and the closer ratios and the capacity of it...

-I know everyone's going to say, "Just do an 80E instead" but why not try somehting a little different.

408ci + 200hp Nitrous + Allison = cool....


-any thoughts?

 

I think it would be totally awsome to have the 6 speed. However, you are going to have a tradeoff between the weight of the thing. If its built to handle more power than the 80e, it is without a doubt heavier and will cause even more parasitic loss to the wheels.

 

I think the closer ratio of the gears would be awesome for acceleration. almost like the shift extension of a stall converter does.

 

The parasitic loss of that trans is crazy

 

I wonder how much more it would be than an 80E
