421 Hp @ 6100 & 378 TQ @ 4500. Should be a good street motor. Found the recipe on AFR's site. Would the 8" and a T-5 hold up against it.

 

421 hp and a stick. doubt the rear will last too long. especially if you stand on it a few times.

 

about 3 good launches and youd need to break out the dustpan and broom. not to mention youll most likely twist the input shaft or roach a shift finger in the t-5 on your first good jam.

 

crap just what I did not wanna hear. I'll have to break out the 8.8" . Will the trans hold up? Guess not. How bout a TKO will it fit into a '73's tunnel

 

Gonna have street tires and it will be in stock trim. Not gonna race it ... much . This one is just gonna be my dads street car that my see the strip once in awhile. I don't power shift but I dont use the clutch.

 

If you don't use the clutch what do you call it if not a power shift?

What?

 

i don't use the clutch either. i call it a c-4. or at work i call it a roadranger.

 

I was always told power shifting was not letting up off the gas an forcing into gear. I like my Eaton-Fuller better

 

You still have to tap the clutch pedal. And if you do that with typical T5 transmissions you're in trouble.

 

You can't force it into gear if you don't let up on the gas. A powershift is just letting up on the gas enough to slip it into the next gear and then back down on the throttle. You do powershift as far as I understand.

 

Guess I am going to have to learn. Never had trouble before .. only used the clutch 4 starting and stoping.

 

Then I guess I power shift ... thats how I shift in the tractor . I thought it was speed shifting.

 

Depends on who built the transmission....who set up the clutch.......and who's driving. :evilsmile

 

I looked it up and I saw rev matching. That sounds just like what I do. Our Kenworth has 950,000 miles with the org trans and it has not been shifted any other way from day one. Some sites said it was bad for syncrodes and others said if done right it does nothing but save the clutch.
