Default need advice

ok guys im in need of some advice i currently have a t-56 worn syncros on 3 and 4 im looking for viable options to put behind my new forged 6liter with an f1r procharger in my 98 ss. its gonna be dialed down like crazy right now probably down to 15-18 psi however i need a tranny to hold the power. i dont know if i should go with a built turbo 400, or another manual valve body automatic or stay with a six speed and if i stay what can i get that would hold up to that. car is mainly street but would like to hit a track or two this yr

I would just stick with the T-56 since you wont see a lot of track time. Just get it rebuilt, RPM does a badass job for that!

Its a stock F body case with a 32 spline SSR output shaft and syncro's.
Give Jason a call and ask him about it.
I think there are a few threads on it.

Here is some info on it.

I think they are using 31 spline output shafts now due to the SSR ones being hard to get.
