Default Transmission

I have a t56 stock transmission. I was wondering what kind of transmission I should get for a drag set up or just stick with the t56? Sorry if this is in the wrong section.

You need to decide what goals you have for the car. If it sees alot of street driving it's hard to beat the 6 speed. It's tough to run good times in one at the track though. I opted to change my 6 speed to a T400. It's alot better at the track but I miss rowing through the gears on the street.

I went from a M6 to a turbo 350 and have never looked back.

Unless you are going to make a ton of HP a TH-400 is overkill and will actually kill some performance. If you want a good transmission that will hold up to a lot of passes build a TH-350. If you want to go fast build a TH-200!
In my opinion, you need a low gear set (2.75) in any N/A car.

Good Luck,
