th350 lockup Built to handle 1k hp with a 3000 stall cost me 1600.00 ready to drop in.....auto outweighed the t56 by alot..he said when it was all said and done I would be spending around 2500-3k depending on clutch and fllywheel I go with for the t56 setup.

I spoke to a transmission guy and we went back and forth on this subject and he said me building you a th350 lockup will be 10x better for everything I am wanting to do and significantly cheaper

Let's make this interesting... I'm willing to bet that you don't seriously hit a track this year. At least 2 runs to consider it a legit "track event"

you don't think the lack of more shorter gears may compromise "sweet spot" RPMs when exiting turns?

he said no....based on my upgraded rear gear ratio to the TH350 Lockup and 3000 stall that I will be just fine.

The guy building the transmission has built alot of trannies for drag cars and other high horsepower track cars.

yes he asked me what my gearing was in my rearend based on the STALL being installed.....He mentioned that with the 3000 Stall if I still had the stock auto gearing that comes in our cars then I would have to upgrade...since I have the 3.54 now in my car from the 6mt I was fine with that transmission stall setup.
