If money where no object which trans would you choose?
Hello
I need some advice. As the topic says which of the below transmissions would choose for roadracing behind a 434 with ~650hp?
Tremec TKOII w/ .83 fifth
ZF 6 speed (I have the complete conversion package from SLP)
Richmond 6 speed
T-56.
Thanx

Car: 1991 Corvette Coupe
Engine: L98
Transmission: 700R4/4L60 same trans different name
if money were no object:
auto:
a fully built 4L80E
cuz if money were no object i would have a car and engine deserving of such a trans
manual:
not sure, i hear ZF-6's are about as bullet-proof as you can get (not like you can get that bullet-proof with manual gearboxes)

Quaife makes good ones too, but maybe not for thirdgen applications. Webster is another one, I've been eyeing them for my Spitfire. I have a friend with a Spitfire like mine, he has a Quaife trans with a Quarter Master clutch, it shifts ROCK SOLID. You supposedly don't need the clutch for upshifts but he has yet to try it and I sure as hell wasn't gonna try it driving his car.
For a V8? Lenco or Liberty or Jerico, something cool like that, why not? Money is no object! NASCAR uses Jerico.

Thanx again for the replies guys. I guess money is no object unless the trans cost over $16000, like the one Hewland one.
What I am looking for is the best one that will can be mounted in a third gen fairly easily and be usable on the street once and while, so I do not have to trailer the car everywhere.
