Default Strongest T56

I´m looking for a T56 for a LS6 Engine the Can handle 1000-1200rwhp

Any recommendation to Builers and What clutch?

I have A DF Centerforce in my Camaro that is like a dream in a Can.

Will a Df clutch handle 1000rwhp or shoul i go with Mcleod twin?

Dont think the DF will handle that kind of power, but i know Rockland Standard Gear has a T56 rated at 1000+hp.

There is no way the DF will hold a 1,000hp. Def go with street twin and Rocklands "Transzilla"

Thumbs up

1200 rwhp? Why do you need that much power?

Go with a McLeod twin disk and have Finish Line Transmission build you an Extreme Duty T-56. Call Doug Ludwig or Chuck Johnson at 630-350-7776 for more information.

1200rwhp you will need more than an extreme duty. The viper conversions are only rated to 750rwhp. I would vote for the tranzilla if you are in a hurry. If not a custom liberty unit is what we are building.

As long as you have a CF DF clutch, there is no way to transmit enough power through your t56 to damage it.
