Default T56 rebuild/clutch advice for 650WHP

Im putting a 454 LS7 in my car, looking for 600-650WHP

I was looking on Ticks site, I was looking at the level 3 trans w/ bearings.

What about the other options, REM, cryo, new gears?

REM and cryo both seem like viable options, but how much do they acutally
help? I dont want to sound like a skeptic... but it seems like it might be bull.
Hence, I am on here, asking for advise.



Also, I guess I could have Tick can diagnose when they tear it down, but when i got my car, the trans blew a day later. so a month later i get the car back with a "frankenstein" transmission. It was free so, im not complaining... but I dont trust it, and idk how i feel putting all this money, on iffy gears.



Now we're to the clutch, How would a stage 3+ handle this? I was thinking about the Lightweight PP, and lightweight flywheel.


Be warned, i have no idea, when my money tree will pay out, allowing me to do this. and i want to get it on the road, but i dont really think my frankenT56 and SPEC stage 3 are gonna hold up for too long...


Not to mention, my 10 bolt...

So im also looking at spooled moser 9"s

my head hurts...



Thanks for all your help.

600-650 fwhp is pretty typical for what most shops are comfortable rating a T56 at with stock input shaft and 27 spline output shaft. All the other little upgrades really only eliminate the issues with shifting commonly seen from people racing their cars with a 6 speed in it.

What he said. And FWIW, get a QTP 9" housing instead of the Moser.
