Big HP Manuals

[rarson]

For the guys building big horsepower turbo/supercharger setups, what manual transmissions are you looking at? The Getrag V160 seems to be the best option, but are kind of pricey and require modification of the bellhousing. A built T-5 also seems like a good option, but they are only rated to 600 hp and for the price of one you could probably pick up a V160. I do like how compact the T-5 is, however.


Any insight is greatly appreciated!

I really like the TKO or the T56

The T56 is a bit large for the chassis I'd like to put the engine in. Is there any good reason to choose a TKO over a G-Force T5?

Has anyone ever used a G-Force T5? I would be using their dog box. They say that they aren't only good for 600 hp but that seems surprisingly low.
