Tremec...............

[mustangfreak145]

what about a sequental transmission. any companys there?

[GTStang]

Jericho,Moser, and a truckload of money will solve ya problems.

just out of curiousity how are u making 1600 foot pounds of torque? is it a project or already done.

[SVTcobra306]

My question is if you are serious about making 1600 ft. lbs of torque, what are you doing asking on a forum like this? Anyone doing this kind of stuff is usually working with the shop that sponsors them....

[bigbob]

werd... i agree, but hey while were on the tranny subject, how much power cna the stock t5 take before she eats it.

[SVTcobra306]

depends on how lucky you are. Some hold up under abused superchargers/nitrous for a season or two, and some blow on the first pass with a stock motor and sticky tires.

They aren't too strong really, but they'll live as long as your tires aren't too sticky...

well i just want a rear end and tranny that will hold up to 1600 for safty reasons. i will more than likly wont make that much i just need to know that when i punch it it wont break. ill be building the engine myself. twin turbo motor. i hope to hit an even thousand hp thats my goal

[bigbob]

what block and car are u building. u might want to consider goin for the extra 600 there thos hondas are fast now-a-days a thousand just might not cut it haha

[bigbob]

and how much power can a tremec handle or is there too many variables

[351wStang]

Alot of variables. A big one being the driver.

11,000?.....yeah..Anyway, about the transmission, if you really make 1,600 lb/ft of torque then I think even the mighty T-56 will bite the dust. I believe Lentech makes an automatic that has a lifetime warranty on cars with up to 1,000 hp. As far as rear end, Moser, Mark Williams, and maybe Currie enterprises could help you out. I think the only rear end that could take that kind of pounding would be the Ford 9 inch.

Don't take this as flaming too much, but I still say anyone who is gonna build their own 1,000 HP TT engine isn't gonna realistically be ASKING us here what tranny/rearend to run.

Most built windsors w/TT on the street will hover in the 550-700 HP range. And that's a serious amount of money.

An 8.8 rear w/stock 28 spline axles will live to 400 RWHP in a fairly heavy car, as long as you don't really beat it. 31 spline w/a detroit even more, and is more reliable on slicks. I'd start there and if you break that, it's time for a back-halved car w/a 9-inch.

a well built powerglide and a Strange engineering pro-built 9" no 5-sp. is going to hold that much power and your ets will be much lower on an auto
