Default T56 Limits..How fast and what power levels

Just kinda thinking that Im on borrowed time with the stock tranny. Iv been as fast as 10.69- 1.51 60ft with my set up..Cam, 100 Shot, Suspension, 12 bolt..Full Weight. We just added a few things to make a little more power, last week put down 569/523..Should be a little fast this weekend

What kinda numbers you guys making and track times..

I think good clutch, good clutch hydraulics and some good driving and you'll be ok.

LOL Yeah the only thing mine is doing is when Im just cruzing..and being a normal person lol it grinds just a little in 3rd. I missed 3rd a while back racing a friend and since has made some noise. I try not to miss to much I think thats why its lasted as long as it has.

I've just got billet keys, steel fork and bronze pads in mine....but I make ~700rwhp and go 135mph with a 3890lb race weight. Power shift it on every pass. Trans is taking it like a champ so far (knocks on wood).

Depends on the Driver and I am being serious.

Some last and some don't and if your making good 450-550 RWHP a goof up a shift, good chances your hurt it, or when people try pushing it via POWER-shifting.

Race Weight seems to factor in as well as lighter cars stress all parts less.
