my t56 is a viper spec one... but eitherway i'd take a t56 conversion over a built t5 anyday of the weak.

Well Than you should have said that from the begining. Thats a different story. But you could still take out almost 80 to I think 100lbs with the t5.

what you tranny gurus are missing is that the capabilities of a transmission rely on a variety of aspects, one important one that you all missed is the weight of the car..
moving a 4000lb cobra is 1 thing but moving a 2900 fox is another.. obviously the lighter the car the less stress on the tranny.

happy thanksgiving gentlemen..

Ahh. Irony. Being as that this is your only post.

the thing i had to add, retard, is that people should quit spreading misinformation around.

any fool that thinks a built t5 is better than a comparable t56 for a street/strip car is a moron(unless they have specific reasons why, i can think of 2).

2250 for a 600hp+ t5, or 2795 for a 700 FT LB t56 magnum.

the choice is a no brainer for me.

t56 all day.

Hey Robot just you proved how useful you can be too. I dont know what Iam talking about funny how the link to Borg Warners site agrees with what I posted in my reply

TTC: TREMEC Transmissions

But I guess their team of technical engineers who wrote those numbers didnt know what they were talking about either right lol. Not one of those torque numbers shows anything above 450 except the one which went into the viper but thats the only one.

Just because you think you know what your talking about doesnt mean you do. So now how about you stfu dont speak any more about things you have no clue about. Iam sure you probably thought Borg warner was related to Warner brothers lol. Besides making the sickest turbos on the face of earth they also make the transmissions for american car manufactures.

Ok jackass. Look up how many built t5's vs. how many t56's you find in the NMRA where applicable, then get back to us. Exactly what expierience do you have anyway.

NMRA WOULD use a t5 instead of a t56, because a t5 is lighter. they want to go as fast as possible. this kid wants a street/strip car, and he is on a BUDGET, meaning he wants to buy a transmission ONCE, not 5 TIMES. :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

what is a street strip car, other than an opinion? I know of a few sub 9 sec cars that are driven every weekend.

You forgot to add the cost of your swap in the cost of a t56, also you can get a t5 just as strong, or stronger than a t56, so if you wanna spend more money, weigh the car down, and only gain an extra overdrive, thats fine, but to compare a built t5 to a t56 as moronic.... you my little turd burgler, are the moron.

what is a budget???

you can NOT get a t5 as strong as a t56. the case is TOO WEAK. sure, a built T5 can be stronger than a STOCK t56, but that's not the point.

in the longevity i would choose a t56, im sorry but when it comes to hard abuse the t5 wont handle what a t56 can. its proven. i have seen many t5 break that were supposedly built.

over all in design the t56 is a much better unit. call any transmission shop.
/end thread.

That is my point. besides the promotion pro shifted helical cut price you quoted, a built T5 can be made to handle what a t56 can or more. for far less than the t56, and or the conversion. its gonna cost about 3500, to 4k to do the swap. about 3 built t5's worth.

Its very clear that you are a no brainer since you have choosen to go against facts and have pluged into a your head with no brain that since the T5 doesnt have a 6 that follows it you think it better definition of ****ing dumbass :eek:. For you own good shut the **** up. You have been owned from the begging and only wasting reply and posting space.

I don't care if your built 7k t5 came with a side of twin hookers from bangcock i'd still go with the t56.. and the weight factor didn't bother me since the car weights in at 3k even with me in it and full interior.

Pro Motion has devised a modified Tremec T5 (yes, we said T5) that can handle high-nine-second e.t.'s in a 3,000-plus-pound race Mustang.

Right so what your saying is you wouldt want these specs plus removing even more weight out of your 3000lb truck and loosing at least another 100 lbs ok makes perfect sense.

Heres the link for everyone on this page who still think T56s are better than T5 oh yeah not to mention you can get a T5 at a junkyard for $100 or $200 and wont can spend more than $400-$900 to get one fully build depending on hp. Try finding a T56 at junkyard oh wait you wont cuz Cobras get sold to wreck auctions or auctions like copart where you have to buy the whole car.

quit talking about things you have no clue about...

you post in every single damn thread on the page and have nothing useful to add to any of them...

So correct me if im wrong but Cammedmysticcobra wasnt referring to a built t56 magnum, was he?

Now a T56 is a good transmission, but i doubt the OP is gonna exceed the hp limitations of the stock block, which would warrant a stronger trans but not necessarily in the range to justify the cost of a fully built t56, and swap.
