Still looks great though.

Why the transmission change?

Well, when I first started building the car my plan was just an ~500hp LS of some kind.
Then I bought the Warhawk LS7 block and things started snowballing from there.

Ive been a part of both a turbo Pro mod team and a screwblown Top doorslammer team for a few years and plans for more power was there.

The TKO simply wouldnt hold up, this turbo will max out at around 1300hp so a buddy bought the TKO and I ordered a T56 Magnum instead

Same thing here. I said multiple times 500hp is plenty for me on the street. Yeah, right!! I just got my magnum trans this past winter and really didn’t have time this summer to get it broke in. Been a busy year for me.
