That's the next weak link.
At 600+ HP, you are probably going to want to at the least upgraded sliders and tail shaft. To flat shift the car you may need to also go with the non-syncro set-up?
Above that you’re looking at a full race prepped trans. There is allot of controversy concerning who makes the best parts. G Force and Liberty are what the fastest guys are running that I’m aware of. Sure there are probably a few others. They are suppose to handle 900HP, of course they still break sometimes. Big RPM launches will take their tole on whatever you use.
Then the clutch is another issue. The McLoed street twin is in my opinion the best out there. It’s not bad on the street, but not something you can use in heavy traffic.
I have a friend that turns over 7500 RPMs and the T56/street twin won't shift propperly at those RPMs, he went with a GR5 (G-force built 5 speed), this is clutchless and can be shifted about 7500 RPMs, shifted via a vertical gate. and this does have a proper SF rated bell housing too. Car has amazing shifts going down the track! I have no idea what that setup cost him. Another item on my wish list!
One thing that is really a big issue for us is that no one currently makes a blow proof housing. A group of us have been dealing with McLeod to make them, been a long process, and it might just be a one-time run of them. For now we’re using trans blankets as a safety net. Even so one guy had his clutch explode and torn him and the car up pretty bad. He was lucky to not loose his right foot or leg, pieces of the clutch and flywheel exited the car through the dash, windshield, doors and fenders! The blanket stopped allot of parts or it could have been allot worst!
Spend the dollars on a trans blanket! Best purchase I hope no one even has to use!
Sorry to run on and on, but allot of people don't realize what could happen and the saftey issues sometimes.
