If you want a high HP T56, look at the G-Force internals.

Thanks. It made me curious. I'm about to tear into my first manual transmission and im trying to absorb as much info as possible before I proceed. Lol.

I could easily jump in and buy a new Magnum and be done with all of this....but at the same time I see this as a benifit in the future if I understand the internal working process of a manual and modify my existing T56 with all the best that GMs OEM had to offer. In my case I've been looking at using the internals from another T56 out of a C6 and going with a SSR output upgrade, then I can keep my existing TH400 driveshaft.

I'm still weighing the options. I have a headache. Lol.
