Tranny?????
I'm droppin a 700bhp LS2 in my 99 camaro w/ a moser 12 bolt. What is the best tranny app to put the power to the road.
Thanks |

Thanks :eek: |
Well WTF do you want a 6 speed or an auto?
|
I love the six speed that's in it but the T-56 is only good to about 450 horse. I'm willing to sacrifice my love for manuals if an auto would be the best transmission for putting all that power onto the pavement.
|
If you want to keep the six speed there's a lot of shops that'll rebuild them with Viper internals so they'll uphold the extra power. That's what I'd do if my car ever made that kind of power.
|
That sounds nice in theory but it would have to be a bit stronger than a Viper T-56 which starts tearing itself apart at about 650 horses. Good try though ;)

auto I know u might be able to use the 4l65e or 4l80e truck trannys.....
or like they said they can make diffrent stage t-56s i believe |
Put a built TH400 in there. They can be built to take just about anything you can throw at it.

If you are dropping a 700 horse motor you better pray your 12 bolt is built tough enough too, along with your driveshaft, u-joints, pinions, and everything else from the crank pulley to the rear-diff cover.
I have seen a 6-speed car run almost a 10 flat at 140mph. That car is a convertible with a 4100lb curb weight w/driver. So obviously the tranny can be tough enough for what you need. Which ever way you go expect to pay a couple thousand to have it built though... |
Good luck.

powerglide, lenco (gotta love individual shifters for each gear) and a good trans builder. I hear from guys who have spent tons on the t56 to have them grenade and they went to auto too many times to even think of one of them. I also agree the 12 bolt probably won't hold (dana 44 or ford 9IN will)
|
i always thought a moser 12 bolt would be an equivalent to a ford 9"
