wait...so no 6 speed?

 

no sir....6 speed t56 was going to cost me 1600 used roughly without pedal assembly and clutch master cylinder and some other stuff.....thats with no upgrades at all....

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

 

drag car?

 

pfft... that thing will never be more than a glorified daily... and I say that with love...

 

haha thanks Chris! no I will be doing autocross, MSR and tracks like that...I may drag but not sure yet.

 

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.

 

upgraded rear gear ratio?

 

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.

 

do you know what the ratios are for the new tranny?

 

not specifically unfortunately..the guy building I just told him everything I was doing and what my rearend gearing was.

 

lots of faith...

 

He came recommended by multiple sources on ls1tech about knowing his stuff
