schmuckingham Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Try driving Anthonys wife car and tell me how easy it is to shift a t56. Also I went 10.9's on motor with a t56 in the vette. T56 in my Dads Vette is butter.... not sure why folks are having such issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hal Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 I heard it's harder shifting a built auto in an f-body. I'm just sayin... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirks5oh Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 If your car doesn't run mid to low 10s with the auto, then someone didn't set it up correctly. The suspension will be where you get the lower 10s out of it, but 10.xx shouldn't be an issue at all. i've got to get some good 15" wheels and tires, and skinnies up front. don't know what the car will dyno with the auto, but it will likely be around 550-560rwhp. the front suspension is completely stock at this point. i'm just shooting for 10's first. the torque converter is apparently custom built by tci for the car, and has a 3000 stall. the auto is their street fighter version, good for 750hp. the biggest issue with getting the car to run fast will be the driver experience--just saying.

It shouldn't be an issue. I usually don't say that when it comes to drag racing, but if it's setup properly 10's won't be an issue at all. You could put Mickey T drag radials on the factory wheels and still run a 10 with that setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mowgli1647545497 Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 GM t56s are easy. we are saying the ford t56 is hard to shift.... I think people at getting confused. They both suck. Although the T56 in my V is easier to shift than the T56 in my Cobra was. Had another chance to drive my friend's 00 Z28 M6 over the weekend: it was a sloppy jagged mess too. V's the best of the three that I've tried and it still leaves ALOT to be desired compared to truly slick shifters out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
