I would vote for the T56 Magnum. I have a TKO600 behind my LS3 and only about 50 miles driven so far. I first had some issues shifting but it was a loose shifter lever that was binding. I am not past the 500 mile break in point yet but I already feel like the shifting is better. I think shifting gears is going to be fun with either but I just saying if I was to do it over I would spend the extra money and get the T56. I would also suggest you call Hurst Driveline for some more info

If I were you knowing you are running an LS3 then T56 Magnum would be my vote.

Im running a T56 Magnum in my BBC Camaro. Took it for a test drive yesterday and love the shifting. Smooth and crisp! long way to 500 mile brake in to do hard shifting but love it so far!

Just put a pumped LS6 injected motor in a '69 Camaro- customer decided not to run his brand new T56 Magnum because he has too much custom work done & doesn't want to re-hash. If he has it, and accessories, you might get a hell of a deal.....plus he is in So-Cal.
Let me know if you're interested, I'll try to hook you up!
