T56 upgrades!

[Nocooler]

when the keys go it usually takes the slider teeth and syncro teeth off of the gear. reverse( i think) can just be flipped over

That's what they said about the gears, but they didn't mention about reverse.....oh well.

Just talked to Jeremy @ RPM......guess I did more damage than I thought!

2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th and Reverse gears were bad - gear teeth were fine but they were excessively wore where the fork/pads slide
2nd, 3rd, 4th keys and blocker rings were broke as well.

Totals up to $1500 with the level 4 rebuild + the $500 for the Quicktime bell, and the $100 in misc bolts and stuff I've bought.

dang, thats not as bad as I figured... but it still doesnt mean I can afford it... tho I definitely need it... gruf

Im just praying mine stays together.

1500 for a complete rebuild? what hp/torque is the level 4 supposed to be good for? sounds cheaper then i thought it'd be.

It's only $650 for the level 4 if your box isn't broke - much cheaper to upgrade it before you break it.

They really don't rate the hp/tq from what I see - it's simular to a Tick performance level 2 that is rated @ 600ft/lbs.

Thats parts only I assume...

Thats too bad, I was picturing a Level 4 would be higher than that. I need something for ~1000lb/ft

Taner runs 8's with stock gearsets. Viper shafts

[BAMF TA]

Yea, but since this is my daily, I dont need that hanging over my head.

1000ft/lb's seriously? Most rate them conservative - as Larry stated the stock gear set is strong, just everything around it falls apart at higher power levels.

Also depends on how you shift it. I'm kind of rough on t56s, but thats because I shift them way too aggressively

1000ft/lb's seriously?

Yep

Right now Im at ~600WTQ, this winter, with 14.5:1compression, and a few other things, itll be close to 700, which puts me over 800 at the flywheel, and im really considering a 2-300 shot just because.

Ive been shifting like a girl. you know... granny shifting and not double clutching like I should...

[1BADAIR]

without traction tq readings dont mean anything.

800 is because of the 2-300 shot right or are you swapping out the upper end?



Liberty hit me the same way. Ended up paying 5-600 more than estimated.....mine only had 15k on it! Something stinks with these trans dudes.

This winter, I will port/mill my heads, bigger cam, new intake. My goal is 700RWHP all motor. then the nitrous.

So you're really shooting for a min of 850 at the motor - that considering your 10bolt and an M6. So, really talking new heads and a crazy intake - sheetmetal, ITB right? What rear end?
