[QUOTE="SlowSVT, post: 14510311, member: 20202"] Scores of Cobra's with the T56 have been running around with 1000 hp engines in front if them long before they invented the Magnum and has proven to be a pretty tough gearbox as long as it's wearing a 26 spline input shaft (which I hear are suddenly hard to get). If this is a street car and you know how to shift gears correctly, don't powershift and don't hop the car chances are you will have no problems with what you have. The Magnum is nice upgrade but keep in mind chances are the driver is likely to be the culprit when something goes wrong regardless of what transmission you chose. I would say the biggest compelling reason getting a Magnum is it will handle extended high speed runs better due to the wider gear set but it also produces more drag as I found out turning both input shafts. The heat produced is just too much for the gears causing them to bind just before it blows the teeth off the hub. For drag racing I might favor the T56 with some upgrades if I wanted to reduce driveline losses. Heat is not as much of a concern on a strip car. If you have $3700 to blow on a Magnum with upgrades go for it. If $3000 of that can be put to better use elsewhere I say get the T56 upgraded chances are you will never know the difference. [/QUOTE]
