Mark,

I don't think you've told us about your transmission? What clutch are you going to run and what mods are done to it to help it survive from all that power and your driving style?

I went to the Centerforce DYAD clutch on the last 4 builds. Low pedal effort, easy to modulate and holds the power if you break it in properly. It also has a good hi RPM reserve when installed with the Centerforce throw out bearing. Their throw out bearing give a bit more travel and make red line shifts super clean.

No mods to the T56? Are you running the Super Magnum?

I had D&D Performance tuned up my T56 Magnum. Their shop is 5 miles from my house and they are great to deal with.

Off memory replaced all the nylon sliders with brass and added better synchronizers where needed.

I also have 6th gear swapped to a 0.5 ratio to make cruising on the highway at 80 mph at around 1840 rpm.

The Tremec app is great but be sure to remove the protective case on the phone or else false angle readings can occur.

Do you remember how you dealt with the 40 tooth reluctor ring requirement in the T56 magnum or if you used the Super Magnum with the 40 tooth ring installed? I have read some folks using HP tuner to adjust the 12 tooth ring that comes in the T56 to make it compatible with the GMPP controllers, just curious which route you ended up going.

Can’t just change the value to 12 tooth. Slight math involved. I’ve done 4 of them now this way. I have a post on here on what to do

Not sure if this helps you but, I bought one of these for my T56 magnum
