Not a terminator , but you guy have the answers

My 04 mach 1 is in the shop getting a built bottom end ,t-56 and 31 spline rear.
I have some questions for you all.

1) I'm going to upgrade the input and output shafts,are the any other mod's I should have them do to the t-56?

2) What clutch should I use?

3) Has anyone taken a ride in a 2.3 whippled car? if so how loud is the gear whine?

4) What gear do I go with,the car is an every other day driver?

5) What exhaust should I go with? I have kooks lt headers,so I'm thinking of an x-pipe and magnaflow catback

I think that's it....lol


thanks all,
Josh

1) I'm going to upgrade the input and output shafts,are the any other mod's I should have them do to the t-56?

Upgrading to a 26 spline input shaft will do the trick. I haven't heard
of any issues with the output shaft.

2) What clutch should I use?

It depends on the amount of power your car will make.
I have a Ram 900 currently and it's pretty nice. It's time
for a twin disk though at 600+rwhp.

3) Has anyone taken a ride in a 2.3 whippled car? if so how loud is the gear whine?

The whine of the blower or of the rear end gear? My 3.90 gear doesn't
make any noise. 2.3L Whipples are extremely quiet in comparison to
a KB, a stock Eaton, or a ported Eaton.

4) What gear do I go with,the car is an every other day driver?

It depends what you want to do with the car. If it's a true daily
driver and you're going to go with a 26" tire, I suggest either a 3.55 or
a 3.73.

5) What exhaust should I go with? I have kooks lt headers,so I'm thinking of an x-pipe and magnaflow catback

It's all about personal preference, $$$, and sound.

I was talking about the blower whine ..lol...You think it could be heard over the exhaust in my 1st post?
The car is a every other day driver with an acational 300mile trip. It will have 2 tunes 1 for 91oct 500rwhp+or- and 1 for a smaller pulley and race gas 600rwhp+or-

You will hear the whipple at wot but its a bit higher pitch and quieter than an eaton.
