I was using Hio's logic, but by your response I don't think it's logical.
I've said in the past and I'll say it again, the SRK has some of the best street racing videos on the net. Even though I'm a Ford nut swinger, I do like the LS series of engines...just not in a Ford.

Not blaming them for using junk, blaming them for not fixing junk that was having issues within a couple hundred miles, again at 1400 miles, and then completely **** at just under 5k miles. Especially when people involved ended up fired because corporate KNOWS it was handled wrong. So why not just bite the bullet and make the repair to leave a customer happy? It probably would have cost them under $300 in parts and less than 10 hours labor. The dealership lost more than that refunding the extended warranty coverage which was promptly canceled.
If one of the 4 GM trucks my family bought new **** a 4l60e before it was due for its first oil change and then refused to honor their warranty, then we would be in the same boat and you can bet your *** I would be just as irritated.

Stop crying you *****.. Fact is you couldn't get that pile out of the 12's or you would've. But some how you continue to tell us how they run low 11's on just tires.
I'm really not a nut swinger......I'll give you another clue to why I'm not. I don't go on ford sites trying to prove my worth. You're better off staying out of a 4th gen.![Grin](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_grin.gif)

Personally, I agree that the dealership should've simply fixed the car and filed the warranty as directed by the manufacturer and it's apparent, they didn't. That's the dealership issue though, not the manufacturer and it seems to me, both are being blamed for all of it. Ultimately, the majority of those transmissions though, haven't had any problems. That is to say, less than 1% have had problems and that's a great record, not a bad one.

I said it before and ill say it again.... the clutch/pressure plate is the reason you cant shift these cars very well at high rpm....NOT the transmission. But that will go ignored again.
Buddy in his white GT/CS has had flawless shifting with his stock GT intake shifting at 6900-7000rpm. As fast as he wants or can. Hes gone 11.8 at 117 at a 3725lb race weight without longtubes or a boss intake. He added a boss intake and now takes it to 7600rpm. He now cant shift the 1-2. He has to short shift to not grind. The boss clutches are only SLIGHTLY better. Youre able to spin them 7200-7300 without issue. Any higher and the same issues occur.
For all the guys biased-ly hating on it. Put a stock clutch and master in your t-56 car... and rev it 7800 and try to shift fast.... Let me know how that works out for ya. You guys would be popping synchros left and right. No one blames the t-56 now do they?

You should have your limiter at 6800-7000

I meant to ask... I know the stock valve train was run for 100 hours at 6800rpm but I haven't had the stones to go above 6600... Figured I should get better valve springs or at least lighter valves before doing that. Would you run the ls6 yellows and ls1 valves at that kind of RPM? Seems like a recipe for valve float or a broken spring to me.

If you would get lighter valves you would probably be better off finding some ls6 heads complete. They're not that expensive used. Those and the rockers should net you 30-40 hp with no loss of drivability and be able to spin it to 7000 would make a large difference.
