I believe that's the case, tranny is heavier though. The greater internets is giving me numbres all over the place, however.

The t56 is definitely a behemoth. (I certainly hope it's a t56 or tr6060?)

TR6060 is just what the OEMs call the T56 magnum (rated at 700lbs of torque). It's used in the GT500, the Viper, ZR1, etc.

I didn't want to deal with any fuss that might arise from mismatching an engine to tranny and didn't want to use the gearing ratios that I found, so I went with a Hurst build of the T56 Magnum. They remanufacture them (and do things to them without being extraordinarily specific) and sell them with two different gearing ratios. I got the lowest gearing possible, so I idle at 35mph, 60mph is at 1000 rpm.

I actually understand that. If Haruko wasn't running, I wouldn't be going at all. Good luck with that pull homie.

I'd be there but I'm busy moving all weekend.
