i just want to hear your opinion for my setup. i need a trans thats going to hold around 575hp. i know that the factory t5 isn't going to handle that much hp very well. should i try and find a really build 5speed, but then i have to worry about the clutch. will i be able to get a good clutch. im kinda leening towards an automatic because my friends good buddy could build me a crazy TH350 or TH400 for around 6-800 bucks. plus i don't want to have to worry about missing shifts when i go to the track. let me knoe what you think

 

I say for that much power, go with a beefed up TH350 or TH400. Stick is more fun to drive on the street, but for your app, I'd say to stay with an auto.

 

A T56 should last behind your set-up. You can also "beef" them up to handle upwards of 650hp or more. If you drive your car on the street I would lean towards the manual. If it is a strip only car you may want to choose otherwise.

 

make that kind of power and then find out what trans you'll need....

 

im going to watch the engine get dynoed tomorrow morning. so i guess i'll find out what trans i need tomorrow night.

 

 

how do you plan on making 575hp? what's your setup?

 

this is how i plan on making 575hp http://www.shafiroff.com/434_595_engine.asp

i went out today to get the engine and it put down 576hp and 582 ft-lb right in front of my very own eyes (with dyno sheets to prove it). i bull**** you not my friend. lets get back to the question at hand here. what should i do for a trans. im kinda leaning toward a th400

 

while i'm not making over 500hp like you plan to, i am very happy with my TH350 on stage 2... however, for what you plan on doing, I would think a TH400 would work pretty good...

 

Save yourself the hassle and gas money and beef up the 700R4.
