Mine was an LT1 (96 SS Camaro) but from memory ran 9.6@149 on a slick and 9.8@146 on a 275-40-17 MT drag radial.
I wouldn't mind another turbo 6-speed F-body again someday, it was a lot of fun
From 2004-

IMO FI guys prefer to go with a auto instead. A lot cheaper to replace should one break. Hell, I would love to put a T56 behind my 4th gen but if I were to break it I would be SOL. If I break my TH400 all I need to do is go buy another $100 and put a few good parts in there and be done with it. A used T56 alone will run you well over $1000 and you still gotta build it.

You should check this thread out, sounds like Mightymouse broke 3 t56's in a week trying to run 9's. https://ls1tech.com/forums/forced-in...o-6-speed.html

one major reason for way more auto turbo cars is that the turbo's love the constant load on the auto. it can be done with a stick but if someone is trying to go fast they usually go auto for that reason.

LOL just checked that thread, I was the one that posted that.
He did say everytime they broke he was using his 2step.
So that shows that once the turbo had built boost, the T56 just couldn't handle it, and Dave isn't one to put a stock 6spd behind one of his motor's, I'm sure it had ALL the good stuff in it.

Heard those words out his mouth myself.

I ran very low 10's ( 10.04 ) on my totally standard T56, and subsequently my 9's on a SixSpeedsInc/T56 rebuilds rebuilt T56 albeit with all standard gears ( cryo treated )
Any other parts used like billet forks etc will have no impact whatsoever on the strength or reliability of the gears.
I considered a G-Force set, but for the extra money, people were breaking them too. On the simple law of averages on the no of stock boxes surviving against how many in use versus the G-Force, clearly the stock box was more reliable and made the most sense.
At that time I was also told Taner had broken a G--Force whereas the stock geared T56 had survived.
Of course a T56 can break, but so can an auto, but generally they are pretty damn strong.

Pretty sure he stripped the input gear teeth. Not really much "good stuff" you can put in to replace that part unless you go aftermarket, which is equally hit or miss.

I'm not a M6 and I have no clue what makes them strong and what doesn't lol.
