I am trying to decide between a D&D T-56, G-Force T-5 or a TKO 600. I will put it a 331 with a Novi-2000 which should be making at least 600rwhp. I heard that the TKO's were notchy from many people. Haven't heard any negatives about the T-56. My concern with the G-Force is the use of the stock case. I heard that G-Force makes a heavy duty case for T-5's so I emailed them. This is their response:
No, we don't have a heavy duty case available. We are working on
designing
the castings. They will not increase the horse power rating; just strengthen
the bearing bores with more material. We are projecting the price to be
around $250.
Thanks,
Mark
A member here, zenboy99 stated that Tim Matherly uses a G-Force and is running 9's with it. Is the stock case a legitament concern of mine? Is mainshaft flexing what causes the case to break? If so I think the upgraded mainshafts would solve the problem. Any input would be greatly appreciated and help me and possibly many others with their tranny desicions.
