I would def get with Madman&co. They set up the fastest F-bodies around. Cool guys to work with also!
Jeremy to me compairing a true T56 to Joes is like compairing a Outlaw car to a street car. Sure they look the same on the outside but whats really goin on is a totally different animal. lol

But regaurdless of how the snychros work, the input and cluster gear are still stock Tremec pieces. Now if it was a faceplated G-force gearset then I would agree that it is merely a shell of a T56.

I'm curious how the triple carbon will hold up to the torque, interesting to see.
I wouldn't even consider wasting your time with that factory sway bar, you've got all the right stuff so far, but the car needs anti-roll bar or it's just going to shift all it's weight on 1 of the rear tires.

I dont plan on keeping the stock sway bar just have to have something on there for now. What else would you guys recommend suspension wise. I want to do the lca relocation brackets, good drag sway bar, and some strange coilovers in the front.

The triple carbon held 1100+ rwtq no problem when i had the alcohol/91mm setup on my supra. But if i need i can always upgrade to a quad

Stock style suspension, you've got most of this but here's a list:
Adjustable LCA's
Adjustable Panhard
Adjustable Anti-Roll Bar
Subframe connectors
Adjustable coil overs (the more adjustable the better)
Make sure you get it scaled, start at 15* of preload toward the rear, then tweak it from there.
I had all the above on a 800rwhp 3966lb (with me in it @ 175lbs) Trans Am, before scaling, the car did high 1.5 60's, after scaling, it did low 1.3's, 1.33 60' was my best. That was off the foot brake, no transbrake and a lot less power than what you'll be making, with a lot more weight. You know this stuff, but scaling makes all the difference.

As for the 6 speed record, I wouldn't count out Lingenfelters 2010 Camaro project. So far with full interior it's been 8.99 and keeps getting faster. Unlimited funds/resources does wonders for ET's lol.... I believe they are experimenting with torque-cut modules and load cells.

If you want to save yourselves a lot of time/money, contact Madman now before spending $$ on random stuff. His purchases include free phone support for getting the thing to hook, which is invaluable advice for a 6sp car. I can tell you right now, you're gonna need a better shock in the rear.
Was your Supra a solid axle conversion or were you still running IRS? Should be interesting to see how this pans out and I wish you guys the best of luck in your quest.

Their transmission is a TR6060 and we built it with a complete custom faceplated spur gear setup. The only Tremec pieces in that trans is the case and shift rail mechanism.

That TR6060 looks badass! How is the faceplating on the sliders holding up so far?

Installed the UMI torque arm and driveshaft shop driveshaft last night.
Luckily the 4" driveshaft fits in there with enough clearance, it's pretty tight though.

I would surely look at better shocks and my suggestion for a fast car would be Afco's by MadMan. I run the S60 in my own car,but my **** is slow so for weight and overall plans of your build I think a Fab9 would have been a better route.
faceplated T56 will make driving the car at the track a dream, but a little goofy to get used to around town
again good luck with the build

What about it won't hold up? I've seen several 6 speed cars running this torque arm and going high 1.20 60 fts at 3200+ lbs and I haven't heard of anyone complaining about torque arms breaking is it that common?.. remember the car won't be launching with that much power, you only need about 700-800 hp to cut 1.3 60 fts at that weight, so I won't be launching at full boost..
