I have an 88 firebird that I have an 402 chevy big block with a procharger pushing about 900 horse and 609 pounds of torque I have seen and heard of some guys running low tens with t5s I thought
about a t56 but hell if I can keep it a t5 then why not does any body know of any after market parts that can beef it up so it can stand some late night fun
Doesn't matter about time in the quaurter, neither the t56 or t-5 will hold up to 900hp in any form. I this is gonna be a straight racer look into a Lenco Trans, or if it is gonna see the street shy a way from a lenco and look into the aftermarket i'm sure you could find something to hold up that kind of power. But there is no way a T5 of T56 will hold up to that kind of power.
