5-Speeds? Strong Enough?

637 Views 3 Replies 2 Participants Last post by  LateNight72
Well, my original plan was to start out with a mild 450hp 408ci BB. But my plans have changed and I am looking into a twin turbo setup on something like a LS2 or LS1 (maybe a BB??). It will have probably about 700-1000hp/tq.

Is there any overdrive 5-speed (or 6) that will handle this kind of power? Originally I was planning on a TKO600 for the first option, but I've realized that it will not handle the new plan?? This will be for street driving and the occasional strip..

Thanks,
Todd

Let's go close to the middle and say 800.

If worst comes to worst, It'll have the 408/TKO600 combo in it... (Not really worst...)

Thanks,
Todd
