What tranny to handle the TQ of the KB 2.6? I am thinking TKO 600 or Viper T56. Which is better for a street car?

Did that KB do some damage to the stock internals?

I was running the 12# pulley at the track and the rod in #5 didn't like the abuse.I am waiting for my VT shortblock and KB 2.6 H blower.I guess the minimum the blower can be run is 15#.Should make for an interesting ride.

I hate having stick in my car to be honest with you even though its consistant at the track its miserable to drive. My 14 second tbird super coupe is mor fun to drive because its a auto and that boost never drops its a steady pull.
