Hey Chevzilla, you can't just come on here and ask a question like that without telling us what you're building.

Or how about a paddle shifted 4L80e with a gear vendors overdrive

Just thinking outside the box.. after all he didn't say if he wanted a manual or automatic transmission..

For that matter he could go with a bulletproof 4 speed maunual trans and a gear vendors unit..

The possibilities are endless..

What kind of tranny does Stuart Adams' Pro-Charged 69 Camaro have in it?
it looks like it would have a good amount of power.
For wheels and tires i would probly have kinesis 18x10 in the front and 19x12 in the rear and im undecided for tires but i would probly go with some nitto nt555s or michelin polit sports or somthing of that nature. but if i ever did decide to take it 2 the strip i would get some micky thompson sportsman or sportsman pro tires on like a 15x14 or 15x12 cragars.
thats the closest i would probly get to slicks. I saw that g-force has a t-56 that can withold a good 900 hp and 800 ft lbs. I could live with 900 hp and 800 ft lbs if i got smaller wastegates.
I was looking into traction control systems too cause theres no way i could hold down that much torque and hp. would that have any part in transmission life?

Stuarts car has a TKO and it was flawless. But the car doesn't run slicks. The T56's can be built very strong as you said. A traction control system like I'm going to run will help the trans as it cuts the power down to control wheelspin.
