So im getting torn between the two between tick stage 3 and rpm stage 5. Its all coming down on price after i talk to both parties. My question is how high are you guys shifting both of these transmissions? I would like to get the triple cone synchros but is it really worth the added money if people are shifting with the double cone fine.

I sometimes bounce off my rev limiter. usually I shift when my tires start breakin lose.i have no fear my monster can handle it. keep drpping hints for them to buy me tires but chris and steve bite! the oldman...

What rpm is that? Im wondering if the built transmissions will take 7-7200 rpm without triple cone upgrade

You can shift em up there if you're a good driver and have the clutch set up correctly. I power shifted my "stage 2" syncro'd t56 at 7200-7400rpm for 4 years before going to a faceplated trans. Never tore up anything other than fork pads.

my rev limit is set at 6800 rpm on a stock tach which I've read reads 300rpm off during high revs.

I shift my Tick stage 2 at 7200 without issue. I've been running this trans since 08'. I think a lot of shifting issues has more to do with an improperly setup clutch.

I used to shift my stock t56 at 6900-7100 with stock hydraulics and a Textralia with no real issues until the end... and I suspect the master cylinder or clutch because the clutch wasn't always fully disengaging.

Then I went auto. lol

Now I'm going back to a t56 and its a super low mileage stocker with a McLeod RXT in front of it... we'll see how it works. I plan on shifting around 7,000 again.

IMHO, assuming the tranny is in great shape, I'd be more worried about the clutch and hydraulics setup than I would be about which type of synchros you have.

I shifted my stock T56 at 7800 rpm all day no trouble. McLeod twin Borg and beck style (original street twin) ran 10.90's N/A full weight pump gas.

You should consider giving Rick a call. Real stand up guy and I felt i got more bang for my buck with him.

I actually sold a CTS-V trans and some other parts to Rick years ago. He seemed like a very knowledgeable and stand up guy. I still have his number for when I get my T56 built.

Not sure if that non-sponsor link is gonna fly though...

If it's really just coming down to price I would consider the guys over @ TDP (Texas Drivetrain Performance) They do great work just search their name on the forum. I'll be sending my T-56 there in a couple weeks. Probably doing the stage 2 with triple cones and gto gear set

I recently shifted mine out to Tick for a stage 3. The free shipping was every enticing although looking back, a Stage2 was probably all I needed. I'm still waiting to hear back if they received it though, UPS said it was delivered on 22Jan. I'll probably give them a call tomorrow just to confirm. But from the forced induction thread about their own LT1 build it sounds like they are a bit busy. I just hope they build my trans at least 1/2 as good as how their car is looking!

shifted my stock t56 at 6800 rpm, stock ls1 boosted, for a long time. held up absolutely perfect when i had it. I have shifted my RPM level V trans and Monster stage 3 clutch over 7k a few times (but have stopped due to crazy traction issues, and just short shift the car to keep it going strait) and its pretty bad ***. I personally have an RPM unit, and it is stout as hell, holding up to my car just fine, and im pushing around 800hp in street trim right now. Bad *** product IMHO

"problems" not shifting 6500-7000-7500, 7330.. whatever are going to be from you clutch setup. Not really what stage, or who built the trans. just saying
