What would you use for a 383 stroker om a 71' chevelle??? i have the oportunity to choose between a 3rd gen camaro manual or a turbo 700 auto, what do you think is the best choise knowing its gonna be a week end street/strip driver???
i like more the manual but i'm open to opinions about de good and the bad of both transmissions...
Okay, the T5 out of the 3rd gen camaro is weak. It's known for it's weakness, they didn't even put it with a 350 cause the torque would have been too much. As for the auto, you may experience the same problem, but I dont' know for sure, check out the Firebird or camaro forums for more info on that Tremec T5 or do a search on the web, and see how much hp/tq it's good for. Hope this helps.

I run a stroker in my '72 camaro with a TH400. A 700 needs money dumped into it. How much money depends on your cam, rear end ratio, horses and the person that built it.
T5's are junk... 700's aren't the cats pajammas either - I agree the turbo 400 is probably the best automatic. For a manual just about anything used in a big block vette is pretty decent.
