Author Messages Oldest First Newest First Pinhead Racing Posts:30 Location: 09/25/2008 6:38 AM Alert  Is there anyone out there running a t56 trans in T/S or E/S? If not, has anyone tried and didnt like it for some reason? Small-block Posts:331 Location: Fort Worth 09/25/2008 10:48 AM Alert  No, and I dont think anyone has tried to run one? John (small-block) Mathis Pinhead Racing Posts:30 Location: 09/25/2008 11:39 AM Alert  Well is there anyone running a manual trans in either class. Tangerine_Stripes Posts:334 Location: Fort Worth 09/25/2008 11:58 AM Alert  Not anyone I know of. Probably the main reason is, if you do it has to be a factory available trans. No Jerichos or Libertys. Do they even make a T56 you can powershift with a 1000+ flywheel horsepower?

I dont know if they have pushed it much beyond that like we hope to. We have talked with them and they would like for us to give it a try. I guess it will be trial and error. We dont really want to run a 2sp if we dont have to, it kinda takes the fun out of driving the car.

Really that guy (in the video)was takin it pretty easy on the trans. I mean he was speedshifting it, but he was backing off a little on the pedal between gears. If it would take some full throttle shifts I don't see why it wouldn't work. I mean the car in the video is right there in the ball park for T/S judging by the e.t. and m.p.h. Maybe I'm just used to what happens when I get behind a 4 speed I love yankin gears. THE Mightiest of Mouses Pinhead Racing Posts:30 Location: 09/26/2008 6:19 AM Alert  I agree, we wont be so easy on it. Yankin the gears is half the fun of driving!! I guess we will just have to see what happens. There are a few vipers running in the low 8's high 7's with a t56 but only god knows how much $$ they have tied up in those things.
