Ill have a 9" rear and the stock t56 can handle up to some 550wrhp i read once. Not to mention many people run alot of rwhp thru a stock t56 and ive ran into many of stock ls1s on 8lbs of boost. Ticking bomb? Yes no maybe so. With the right tune, it can and has been done.

I appriciate you comment mostly because you were an ******* like some of the people ive ran into on these threads. I appriciate your thoughts and thanks for answering a few questions for me.
Yeah stock T56 can typically handle 550 rwhp if not more. 8 lbs of boost isn't a ticking time bomb. Not at all. I was talking about higher boost levels where a bracket such as the Aster bracket would be necessary

Because I was an *******? lol

There is nothing wrong with spending money on parts that far excede the power you are going to make. I do that all the time but that is because i am building a LS3 to go in the car...At that point i will be making the power that i will need all of my bigger parts for. So just ask yourself if you are going to go above and beyond the 8psi and 5xxhp mark. If so then getting the big parts now just means you wont have to get them in the future....If you arent going to go big then you really dont need to go all out with a tensioner bracket and duel pumps.
