500-600 fwhp guys come in !

[93cobra12]

hey guys, what tranny are u guys running?

 

[hotrodman]

do you mean rwhp??i got a TKO TRANS,,351W ,,VICTOR JRS HEADS SOILD ROLLER CAM,,AND A 200 SHOT ,,

 

[jjd975]

I make 500 at the flywheel. I run a rebuilt T-5 with parts from D&D. It has the alloy gear set.

I do NOT powershift. I run BFG drag radials (1.6-1.7 60'). Its a 306 with a 150 shot BTW.

well 600 fwhp an 500 rwhp.. thats i meant..

Is it somtimes hard to shift into gears in your TKO ??

 

[CobraGT87]

Roughly 550RWHP and still using my T5z The only reason it's held up is because the tires bust loose so easy. Lord forbid the tires ever grabbed hard (BOOM goes the tranny), Then the G Force T5 goes in

Scott

 

[93cobra12]

ok you Scott's a G-force man, what else is everyone using ??

im with you Scott, the old t5 holding up cuz of the tires spinning away.. THe only reason why my cars t5 is still alive..

 

[SmockDoiley]

I'm making 625 at the flywheel, and Im running a TKO. Again, when I go to the track, I dont plan to shift hard or get traction. I plan to not warm up the slicks. I can sacrifice some 60 foot to save my tranny. Yes, the TKO doesnt like shifting hard with that kind of power.

 

[93cobra12]

see thats a reason why i wouldnt want a tko.. How bout a tremec?

Are those the same trannies? is TKO the Mustang and the tremec being a cobra or a saleen.. You guys follow me ?

Is TKO the companies name an tremec being a model ?? Or are they two different tranny's ?

So if i want a nice smooth shift then i should keep my t5.. What do you guys think of the viper 6 speed ??

 

[hotrodman]

well 600 fwhp an 500 rwhp.. thats i meant..

Is it somtimes hard to shift into gears in your TKO ??

NO ITS THE SMOOTHEST TRANS I EVER SEEN ,,I GOT A PRO 50 SHIFTER AND IT SHIFTS SWEET I MUST SAY,,I DONT SPEED SHIFT EITHER,,,I GOT 3.73S ,RUNNING 1.63S 60FT TIMES WITH 27X11.50 X15 HOOISER PRO TIME TIRES NOT SPRAYING IN FIRST GEAR ,,

Tremec is the transmission company. They have different models of transmissions the tko, 3550, 3650.
I have a tremec tko that is modified by x2c motorsports it is supposed to handle 650+ ft lbs of torque.

 

[88stangmangt]

ya useing my stock t-5 with the mods below(600 to the crank) just plan to up-grade to a spec stage 3 clutch frpp alum driveshaft. and a whole lot of suspension junk.

 

[93cobra12]

my mechanics are saying to go with the g force rebuild, i had these other guys tell me to go with TKO, and now im stuck ! I have the money all i gotta do is choose..

 

[hotrodman]

mine is the tko 3550, i hope you get it figured out,,

 

[88stangmangt]

i hear good stuff about the g-force but then other's say the t-5 houseing is weak. so it is a catch 22

 

[hotrodman]

dont g-forces cost alot more???i know there i dam good trans ,,like $4000.00 or so??

 

[5.0 HOtrain]

I just made 581/539 FWHP/TQ, gonna stick with my tremec 3550, just dont know how long it will stick with me I'm going to look into a X2C motorsports tremec when the time/money comes.

[93cobra12]

for the gears including splines its 1900 i believe.. And then you have to get a housing an a new pressure plate, so im guestimating for a complete rebuild it will cost aroudn 2350... But thats re-using ur old T5 which i dont know if im too fond of that !

supposly there supposed to withstand 650+ hp
