I had never heard of that flaw with the TKO600. If you have any questions about the transmission, or want one that shifts better, or want to know which one to buy, ask Bob or Linda Hanlon of Hanlon Motorsports. They know everything.

While I got you guys here. What kind of power is this 347 going to put down? Lets just say I'm going with the trickflow top end maybe stage 2 cam or something similar and the intake upgraded to the track heat. So street heat heads with the track heat intake. Do you think I can come close to 400 without going too aggressive on the cam? Its got to be streetavle and fairly street manored.
This is where I got my g force t-5... He is very knowledgeable.. Bought his rebuild video also.. Also pretty good.. He is only an hour away from me so I talked to him for an hour or so when I dropped it off.I had never heard of that flaw with the TKO600.

Your pushing alot more power then I'm going to be tho right? Also ill prob never put slicks on her anyways. Whats this 3550 trans you were talking about? I'm guessing that's an older trans? Ill prob just get a new tko600I think I saw them under $2500It kind of depends. I consider a new TKO600 to be a starter kit, because I tend to break them. TKO parts are pretty darn expensive compared to the T5 parts. If you get a good deal on a used TKO600 that doesn't need any parts, then it's worth it. If just a handful of parts in there are bad, you are going to spend more money than buying a new one.

IMHO you need more heads and cam if you want to make 450+hp and if you're going to do that I highly recommend an aftermarket block. The 351 stroker build is a better idea IMO. No need for an aftermarket block until roughly 700hp,more torque,and a little more unique compared to a "regular"347 build. Back it up with a TKO600 and you'll have a bada** street ride. I'm biased. That's what I'm doing.Yeah that's pretty much spot on what I thought 360 was my guess. I would think a dart block would be way more money tho. A 351 based stroker was a thought. I kinda feel like that would be way out of my budget andmy budget is kinda steep IMHO. I do however feel what I'm spending would be worth it. I hope its a lot better then the stocker 302. Honestly I was disapointed a little bit when I first really got on it afterbi bought it.. granted the cars very tired.

That's the old TKO. Had the same internals and gears as the 3550 and the 26 spline input.I say for a N/A street car, a 3550 would be a good way to go, especially if you could find one with the 26 spline input shaft. I had one in a previous car and I think @jrichker runs one as well.
I was going to go with the base tfs kit but Ive been researching and I def want bigger heads and a more aggressive cam I was thinking AFR 185s or a tad bigger. What about the afr205s are they streetable or is it going to be too much?I like the TKO 600 series if you want to upgrade as well but all the info posted above is spot on. Ive put 1000rwhp through a MMR TKO 900 which is a cyro treated and refined TKO 600.
I've delt with Bob and Linda for years and they are awesome. Linda knows more about transmissions then most people I know...lol
Broke 2 g-force t5s in the same weekend in a buddies 450hp car, one straight cut and 1 helical. I've also pulled 2 recently to swap to tko600 because the customer hated the noise of the gforce unit....and for the money its just not worth it IMO.
Things to remember... you'll also need a blow proof bell (I like my feet and toes) $500, clutch disc of your current pp is up to par $150, modify the trans cross member $40, and a shifter wouldn't hurt but the stock shifter on the tko600 isn't horrible.
If he goes with a combo that isn't the base TFS kit like a larger tfs cylinder head or a afr185 and holley 400rwhp isn't out of the question....
I've got a boosted car that makes over 600rwhp/500rwtq with a tko500 10 spline input that holds up pretty good so far..its been in a street car over 9 years. Stage 2 Spec is the heaviest clutch it has had behind it....no slicks ever!.
