[QUOTE="Scotts Elle, post: 5317254, member: 32566"] Just got back from a day of waterskiing/wakeboarding and you guys are already asking the good questions! The torque rating of the T56 is to be taken with a grain of salt. The engineer from Tremec said that they only test the trannies up to the rating of the car they are built for. Also the rating is an instant "shot" of power/torgue to the tranny. In a real world application, you would rarely see this happen inless you are a the type that turns your car into bucking bronco with every launch. For example, your peak toruque does not happen at the same time as the highest strain on the tranny (launch or a 5 down the 3 shift), This is the same internals as the Terminator guys and uses all the same castings and CNC programs as the Viper tranny and the Camaro. I will post pictures of all the parts needed for this project and if Cichlids feels its appropriate he will share the costs with you as well. What I can tell you is that its no where near the 11K... Not to sure on weight savings until we get the old tranny out. [/QUOTE]
