how much power can they hpld up to stock with upgraded clutch and so on.
and if i was to do the swap into my 97 gt is the drivelines the same length?

I've seen them live with a 600-650hp setup for some time. As for the clutch, it's all in how you drive.

No, the DS isn't the same length. You need a 03-04 shaft with either a conversion U joint (445 precision) or a 03-04 flange for the rear.

Some people with 4XX gears don't want a car that cruses at 3000+ RPM on freeway trips and a T56 works really well at chopping down the freeway speed RPM's. I have a Viper T56 in my Cobra and at 80MPH, the RPMS are only at 2100 with the Viper .50 sixth gear.


By the way, the terminator T56 has a 440 FT TQ rating and the Viper T56 is rated at 750+ft TQ.

do a g-force. Lighter and wont eat as much power.

wasnt drew "yellow94gt" going threw g forces like they were nothing? it would be nice to have the extra gear and i was looking at buying a used transmission to save $$$. but depending on new vs. used i might just get one brand new

It all depends on how you drive your car. I have been pullied on my 03 cobra for about 20k miles and just recently installed a 2.3 whipple making just over 600hp and I have had no problems. But then again I don't drive like an idiot everywhere I go either.

wow thats a name we haven't seen post in a while. Drew broke only 2 G-Forces.

I personally would go with a t-56 with a 26 spline input shaft and you should be fine

I've got the TR3650 in mine that puts down 526whp and I haven't had any problems so far but when mine goes I'm going to go with the T56 and the 26 spline input shaft. I've heard of a lot of guys blowing up the 3650's with nothing done though, its all about how you drive it. I get on it all the time but don't beat the hell out of it.
