Lswho stfu. Its a standard non-viper build... not that hard to figure out
Wicked. Street, drag, road race.. needs to be pretty tough. Do you mean viper main shaft, or input, output, ?
I know ill need a street twin or similar as well.

Viper mainshaft. That powerlevel, especially trying to road race it (!!!!) you're going to be generating ALOT of heat in the trans. You'll probably need to add an oil pump + direct oiling to it as to not starve the gears during long highway/straightaway pulls. The gearset is a weakness at that powerlevel too. How deep are your pockets?
Seriously I weighed my options, and even after throwing 2k into a T56 there's no guarantees. That's why i ditched it, I don't have the money to repair stuff like that, I'd rather build it and freshen every few years.

Road racing will only be 3-4 times per year and I plan to neuter the tune as much as possible so I don't kill myself. The motor makes 800+ fwhp N/A but with the elevation and a super mild tune I can probably get that down to 550ish at the tires
I would like to know this also. I have grenaded 3 of them. First one lost 2nd gear, Second one lost 4th gear, the one I have now the 3-4 synchro is messed up. I am hard on my car, but with EVERY shift the clutch is always pressed in fully, and my car doesn't make that much power. I thought the T56 was supposed to be fairly strong?
I believe it's 96+ that have a improved 2nd gear the earlier ones had a weaker on. A lot of companies are now doing SSR output shafts and main shafts since they are stronger then the viper ones.
