    T56+turbo= fun but pain in the Ass


    turbo = auto

    badass NA setup = t56

    2000 Wrangler - 5.3litre with some stance

    it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference

    Why do you say manual and turbo are a pain?

    You'll break a lot of parts and burn up a lot of the clutches available. Before I forget if you do go T56, the GTO ratios are much more truck friendly.

    I'm glad you said that. i wasn't sure when replying, but i was remembering hearing that the fbody ratios were not as good as another option. just couldn't remember which one.

    not really when dealing with boost. its better to have the wider ratios then the closer ones of the GTO trans

    they just are, especially if you plan to race from a dig. the clutch that need to support the big power isnt the most fun to drive all the time. Not to mention to cost to set up the T56 and its parts to hold big power will easily cost you quite a few thousands

    orignal purchase of Viper spec T56: 3500 i also have another 400 into upgrades to make it even stronger
    spec twin disk: 1200
    mcleod bell housing: 550
    Ls6 slave : 180
    Hurst shifter: 180
    Tilton master cylinder: 300


    ive went thru another 900 dollar clutch a few yrs back in 6500 miles, stock master cylinder doesnt like any heavy performance clutch, ive broke a Liberty T56.....those parts there total another 3500

    yea the t56 was worth it.............
