I'm thinking that my car's gonna dyno in the 560-575 HP range on the 150 hp jets... Wondering when (HP?) you guys have blown up those T56's?

lol...mine went when it was only dynoing 330 rwhp! And the stock clutch grenaded itself only 4K miles before that! lol

I'm at around 430 Mustang Dyno and 465 Dyno Jet and mine is still holding like a champ.

I never even powershifted mine either. I had just had some bad luck. That was fine though, cause I upgraded to the RAM 6130/402 combo, and also updated my slave to the GM "145" at the same time, as well as the Mcleod Billet Adj. Master Cyl.. But, keep in mind, I did all this when "decent" aftermarket clutches were just coming out for the LS1. As a matter of fact, I was only the 3rd person to have ran the RAM set-up. Java, not sure if you'll know him or not, did all the testing for RAM for this clutch, and I was able to get one through him and RAM before it was actually released.

My 99 blew it's first transmission at about 800 miles. Then 2400 miles. Then 8K miles. I didn't give it another opportunity, I made Pontiac do a lemon law buyback.

Aparrently it had the shifter holes misaligned. The first time the sucker ate itself internally, it was terrible. Second and third time was the 5th and 6 gear synchros.

Well I killed my T-56 w/ 380 RWHP. It wont last long powershifting a stocker. Lots of runs though, 100's.
My car is a 2000 as well have to remember they have the paper lined blocker rings & the aluminum shift fork. The 01's & up had the carbon fiber rings & started mid year installing the steel 3/4 fork.
I have 3 T-56's I just swap them out as they go. Cannot wait to build a face plate geared T-56, whenever the parts come out.
That will be nice a proshifted trans that can do 7K shifts & last.
Chris if your goes LMK not real bad to rebuild them. The parts are the expensive part.

I was. I was paying an exorborant amount of money to drive a freaking Grand Am most of the time while my T/A was in the shop. Hence, the lemon law buyback.
