Where to get T-56 built? Where are you M6 guys going to have the T-56 built up for added power? Are there quite a few things that can be done to it, or is it pretty limited? Any information would be appreciated. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: Where to get T-56 built? As far as upgrades you are limited.
D&D Perfomance and SMC Perfomance (AKA Valvegod) are the two best grooups to deal with.
The "upgrades" are actually just Viper original equipment. They are the 3-4 shifting fork and carbon fiber faced blocking rings. The shifing fork is on a three month backorder. I know of people using the cygrogenically treated parts with success and one guy having a output shaft machined for his application. SMC will also build you a tranny with triple cone scynros out of the Vette for durability. The last mod that I know of is that Liberty Transmission (manufactuer of planatery transmission) will "Pro Shift" your tranny so that you can shift faster, but it cuts down on the life of the tranny.

Re: Where to get T-56 built? Hey Trevor
I would suggest D&D performance in Michigan. They are one of the only shops that I know of doing T56 upgrades (steel shift forks, cryo treating gears, etc...). A couple people in my area (including myself) have D&D rebuilt T56s with the upgraded stuff. Great shop!
www.ddperformance.com
Dont be freaked when the first page you see on their website is Mustang stuff <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
Hope this helps

Re: Where to get T-56 built? I was told by a tranny builder they are NOT stock viper parts. I got thy syncros and fork from DD performance, but there are other places that will give you a new one with the upgraded parts,
one was bulmenthal (sp?) mfg. talk to larry 405-232-9557. something like 1300 for a rebuilt with perf. parts.
another was american gear out of NY, don't have contact info.
I just contacted Tremec, who makes the t-56, and got recommendations for distributors.
