T56 Magnum should I buy and where?

[FETorino]

I keep doing more research and every trail seems to end with a close ratio T56 Magnum.

My car will have close to 700hp and over 600 ft lbs of torque I know that.
6200 rpm is the target for max hp.
My car will see some street miles including highway driving.
My car will be track oriented, I will drive it at both open track days and hopefully RTTC and other similar events.

Is there any other viable choice for a transmission?

Anyone have a preference on vendors. I was thinking of purchasing it thru LIberty. any reason to go elsewhere?

Subscribed just to listen in. It seems everyone lists the trans at $2895 which I am sure is a Tremec MSRP rule. I am hoping to order very soon myself but I have a full auto to manual convesrion in front of me.

Well don't feel bad. My car may have been a 4 speed but other than the pedals that doesn't mean much. Bellhousing, driveshaft, clutch, crossmember are all different. With my new chassis I will likely be going to a hydraulic clutch set up to replace my z bar. Like I said I get to keep my left pedal from the 4 speed that's about it.

Yep you're on it. Unless you want or can tolerate a dog box, you're lookin at a T56 Magnum. Sounds like the right fit for your needs.

I'm already looking forward to seeing your Torino at RTTC4.

not only does tremec set the price, i couldnt get ANY dealer to budge. after some searching i found a 10% off coupon for summit and ordered from them. i was just after the tranny though since i already had everything from my tko. if that wasnt the case, i think i would have just gone with american powertrain.

MMR does sell for a bit cheaper than most.

Man I hope so. Still a long way to go to get there.
