Right now, It looks like I either have to trade my $3300 T400 even up for a mildly built T56 and good clutch, or a built 4L80E setup. I have guys that will trade even up for them. Both do not seem to be the best for what I need, But the 4L80 would allow me to buy one of those awesome paddle shift wheels from that sarcastic guy on here, but then I cannot do the standing mile..

I have talked to all the 1000 ftlb torque guys with the stock T56 (real life experience)and they say if you do not power shift it will be fine at my power level. To me that says alot. Sure anything can break, but being that these guys feel confident that I will be fine and they are the some of the fastest hardcore street/drag cars around, that says alot.
I drag raced a t-56 behind a 396 LT1 with no problem till the syrco's went out.I have seen plenty of power shifted T-56's just don't miss a shift
