Default Curious......which fully built tranny can hold more Power/Torque......

4L80E built to the hilt

or

Manual tranny.......(which make/model is the best)

***Roll on runs only....no drag racing...no launches.***


How hard is it to do an auto to manual swap?
I have no knowledge of manual tranny's.....how much $$$ is a fully built one?

1998 WS6 Trans Am....it will make 1,000 RWHP......

auto any day of the week. If you are meaning t56's or a 4l80e then the 4l80e.

The t56 is about the only bolt in. The t56 magnum isn't a bolt in without a bunch of mods. Even with viper internals the t56 won't handle much more than 1k hp. Ask Tiago, he went th400. It stripes the teeth of the counter shaft when you put a lot of torque to it.

They are expensive, but whats not when you start getting up there in the power level.
