While I understand that you already have the Magnum T-56, it just seems like a waste of your time and money to build a 6-speed setup (for optimal hook) and then when you reach that goal to then go to an auto and start all over. If you were pretty sure you wanted to keep the Magnum then I could understand it. Nothing wrong with what you're doing; just seems to make more sense to skip the Magnum and put the money and time into the (auto) setup you're ultimately wanting. :shrug:
Logic is not present in this build. He is building exactly what he wants how he wants. That's perfectly fine and it is his car so ultimately he has to be happy with it. But, logic says sell the magnum for top dollar before you destroy it and your rear end behind the power you are wanting to make. But there is a guy building a serious hp car with a stick and IRS still, but he could be much faster and spent less if he just did an auto.
Why stand on his nuts about wanting to run it bolt action? If he's got the time and money, all the power to him, it will be awesome. If all that mattered in life was squeezing out every last tenth of ET, you wouldn't bother with a 4000 pound car in the first place.
You also would not spend that much money on a sleeved 5.8 with absurd HP numbers either. The point is, his engine build screams race car and the rest of his build screams ported eaton. That's the point. Why make 1500rwhp with a magnum and spend 20k when you can make 1000rwhp with a magnum and run the same times? Or why not run a full manual auto with the 1500rwhp and run faster, safer, and more enjoyable times. Have you ever tried to pilot a 800+rwhp stick car? It's scary to say the least.
a "point & shoot" ride with stupid hp will be best with a slushbox and a stick axle. The IRS will be useless and the T56 would be a distant 4th or 5th choice and for more reasons than 1.
I think the OP knows this already

The car has a built SRA.i want the car a 6 speed because i want to go as fast as i can with it before i go auto.im not wasting my time or money,thats just what i want to do.stick an auto into anything and it will be fast,thats not what i want,i dont want the easy way in.fast car AND driver is what im aiming for.will an auto be faster? Hell yes it will.is it stupid to run a 1300rwhp car with a 6 speed? It could be,but thats how i want to have my fun.ive already set something i want to accomplish.i might break stuff,i might not but i want to go through that experience myself,money is not an issue.thank you to all that understand
That was my entire point. You are doing this because you want to, and that is all that matters. Is it weird to some people? Yes lol. But it is your car and your money and you can do what you want!
Why is everyone so against large TSs?
I say put the 4.7 on it with the six speed and have some fun. It will be awesome!
gonna be a lot of problems with big big blowers. just saying. You want big power, turbo. Thats it. That saying that big blowrs run cool? Don't think so.
Just saying.the 4.7 is a beast
Liquid cooled with the BIg Gun intercooler upgrade,staying cool wont be a big problem.
150 hp gain over the 4.2 at the same boost.most likely the baddest out there

OP, am like you, l like to experience stuff first hand. People told me not to put a sump on my street car because if i get rear ended it will blow up. I have been rear end twice, and tank was nowhere close to be damaged or hit.
I say slap that blower, live the experience to post it here. There are a lot of people with stick shift with over 1000rwp, not everyone has a driver mod.

I have many times for the past 3 years. Good times but takes a lot of practice to make it work well.
Look up Nicholas Shortbridge, he has a 1300+ HP T56 Terminator. Still on the IRS thought.
Whatever you decide to do will be a blast!
At the HP levels the OP is going for I'd say turbo(s) over blower hands down. Quite simply for the massive advantage of boost by gear and boost by RPM. The car will hook and go like a rocket in all gears and speeds. Remember a 1000+ whp stick shift blower car is spinning unless you have a lot of money in suspension, tires etc. and a lot of practice with the gas pedal. If you're spinning you ain't winning
