How much can the F-body M6 handle? IN power wise? HOw much can it take? I was reading a Turbo Kit and they said something like 600rwhp can be done on a Manual to. I though the T-56 was only rated at 450TQ? So if I go to 600HP and 600TQ, will I break the transmission? OR does the Manual transmission in the F-body hold up to more power then that? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Re: How much can the F-body M6 handle? IN power wise? T-56 will handle about 600-650RWHP/RWTQ. You had better worry about the rear end or Vette axle shafts. All depends on your driving style.

Re: How much can the F-body M6 handle? IN power wise? I also have a 2002 TA collectors edition coupe. And Would you guys think that going with the SLP heads/cam package which they claim 485HP but I'm not sure if thats true. And then run 7psi on top of that? That would come close to 700Fly HP. I know the compression is high, but I heard many people going 8psi on stock engines and etc. ANyway will the internal engine parts take the power? Or will they just break from it?
I also plan on doing things slow, maybe go with heads/cam, then later on change the axel. Further on then get into SC or Turbocharging it and running 7psi boost.
