im looking to go manual for my elky, but im torn to which manual to go with. i need a tranny to hold up to the power goals of my motor. looking for 1,000 hp and torque wont be too much less. looking for a 5 or 6 speed. what can you guys recomend? i was looking at tremecs.

Isnt even the strongest Tremec rated at like 600lbs of torque?
You will rip that thing to shreads.
http://jericoperformance.com/2.html look at their drag racing transmission.
Pricey but for trannys that hold 1000hp/tq nothing will be cheap

Liberty isn't bad either.

G-force is an option as well.

yeah the tranny has to live behind a turbo 496, so it has to be plenty strong. thanks for the links.

 

[manveru]

g-force 5 speed, or a lenco

Check out - www.modularmustangracing.com
They are producing upgrades for the Tremec TKO 600's that will put them in the 900hp range.

Madhooker- Arent you still in highschool? Man I would love to have the chance, money, and ability to build a 496 turbo motor to 1000 hp that young. When you think you will have the motor built? :beers:

 

[mad hooker]

haha brett nah im not in school enymore. i graduated a few years ago. well its gonna be awhile until the motor is biult. right now the car is sitting waiting for a gas tank. but hopefully by the end of the summer i will have enough to put a nice dent in the cost of my new motor.

 

[mad hooker]

probably a g-force. i like the look of the lencos, but not in my car.

 

[mad hooker]

ok the H pattern shifter is the one found on a regular stick tranny right? i dont wanna be just shifting straight up and down.

A Stock Viper six speed will hold 900hp. I was told this by D&D. They build Camaro/Firebird trans to these specs and have great suscess. They can also build the trans to hold 12-1300hp. This means it wont (or shouldnt) break. But with this kind of power, it will wear depending on how much you abuse it. The more abuse, the more you will have to get it rebuilt.

Im looking at the same hp potenal you are looking at. Im gonna run the stock Viper trans. the way it is until it needs a rebuild. Then I will decide if it needs to be built stronger. I know I will not be able to dead hook the car with this kind of power, so Im thinking the stock trans should hold up ok. I also wont be doing any power shifting.

Just my .02 cents

yeah, but honestly i think keeping it a auto would be better for boost. autos and boost are meant for each other.

I run the tremec and put out about 1000 horse in my blown 540. A tranny is rated based on 24 hours at that rating. Power shifting kills them, not the power. If you are running street tires, make fast but positive shifts, no power shifting the tremec will hold up
I blew up 3 700Rs in one summer, dropped in a mustang T5 for the next summer and it survived without a problem. I then upgraded to the tremec.

They sure are...If you want to be a wuss. Ever hear of a two-step? highly successful with turbo/stick cars.

 

[mad hooker]

what is that?

 

[Nicks406]

uhoh. a two-step is a box made by MSD and im sure others, that is basicly has two rev limiters. You can run the motor up on the two step and build boost. But from what it sounds like, the car is nowhere near needing that part right now.

 

[mad hooker]

not yet , wont be there umtil i start the motor build.

Automatics are for people who sit when they pee.

and if you are talking about guys with automatics sitting when "peeing" hahah guys dont pee, they piss. peeing is for women. HAHAHHAHAHAH :sad:

 

[Brettd85]

[mad hooker]
