Is the T56 not the 6 speed transmission that is normally coupled with an LSX engine????

I would tend to believe so...

+1 thats the first thing that comes to mind

Friend of mine who is big into drag racing told me it's typical to do a high gear burnouts to keep the wheels spinning faster, true ?

They may of had a bell housing made so they could use the T56 with whatever is in that car.

Edit: also the t56 was used on other cars besides the LSx cars. LT1/LT4 Camaro, Firebird, and Corvettes, Vipers, some Mustangs?,

[george graves]

Yea, I've heard of e30 m3 guys talk of a (corvette?) 6-speed swap with some bell housing work. It really does sound like an inline 6(m30) - but who knows. Insane power none the less.

[ldsbeaker]

Srsly, that can't be an M30.

[CorvallisBMW]

It says SC'd M30,which I would believe. I bet you could get about 400 ft-lbs if done right.

GM has used the Tremec/Borg Warner T56 since ~93. Ford caught on a little later, but still uses cheap/weak transmissions in most of the Mustangs.

You can buy them from Tremec without a bell housing and have one made if there is not one already on the market. Plenty of guys are running them in classic GM's and Mustangs.

Here are all the cars that came with them from the factory, I am sure there are a few more...

LT1 and LS1 Camaro, Firebird/Trans Am
C4, C5, and C6 Corvette
SRT10 Pickup
Viper
'00 Cobra R
03-04 Mustang Cobra
'04-06 Pontiac GTO
Cadillac CTS-V
