Trans opinions?
Hey guys, planning and stockpiling parts for my camaro build. I'm wanting to do a little of everything with it. Autocross, road race, drag and drive events, and just go cruise it around on the street. A little about the build, full ridetech with true turn, 13" front and rear brakes, 335 rears 315 fronts for the stop and turn action, and a set of 17s with drag radials for the drag setup. I know pinpointing one style of driving is preffered to get the most out of a setup, but I'm not going for any records with this thing
Motor will end up being somewhere around 800-830hp, 8000-8500rpm, Ls motor.
That being said, with the motor being fairly stout, and the rpm thats going along with it, I'm seeing all these transmissions with 7500rpm limits on their shifting capabilities. I'm leaning towards the TKX, keeping it simple, light, and not seeing much need for the 6 gears.
Anyone know if the TKX can handle shift points a little higher than the advertised 7500? The other issue I've heard people talk about is running faceplated trannys with road racing not allowing for proper downshifting?
Thoughts? Questions?
