I'm going with a built 4L80E and the Shrifter. Easy choice with all that power. Once you get over the 750hp mark, The baddest T-56 will not hold up for long. I guess it depends on how hard you are planning on driving it. I was torn myself, until I found that Shrifter. Mine's still not together but I can't wait to try it.

You have 800 horsepower in your car as a street driver, or this is the plan ya?

My question is what guy in his right mind would not want to downshift that kind of power? Go with the t-56.

#1 and biggest negative of auto - can only downshift 1 gear at a time.

with that kinda power ur only going to need to downshift one...

downshifting two gears with that power wuld be useless... (read as: sliding sideways into a tree)
