  • how much power can my tranny handel?

    Right now I have a saginaw 4 speed tranny that I have rebuilt. I want to upgrade to a 5speed, but, I am worried that when my engine is all together that if I miss a shift once, or grind it once, the torque that I am going to be putting out is just gonna tear the gears appart....
    I PLAN on putting out about 450hp at the flywheel, and about 400 at the wheels.

    That and what else will I destroy? the U-joints? the rear if I hook up?
    82 camaro x2:
    82 z28 w/ 305 (for now) 4 speed saginaw
    82 berrlinetta with 350 .060 over...3 speed auto

    The Z28 is back under the knife, after the transmission, now its the entire engine....will post pics when all finished.
Working...
