If I remember correctly, the T-56 can handle quite a bit. I seem to recall reading somewhere that it was the same tranny used in the Viper.'99 T/A WS6 w/ Borla cat-back, K&N, SLP SFC, SLP STB, BMR boxed LCA's, BMR Adj. torque arm, BMR panhard rod, BMR springs, and Short Stick
(a list I know, but if I don't put it here, I'll never write it down anywhere else)

I think it depends on the transmission. From what i understand, LT1's got Borg Worner T56's and LS1's got a Tremec T-56 which is the one used in the Viper. This is what i've been told anyhow.Red 95 Trans Am: M6, Moroso CAI, Magnaflow, Spohn sway bars, back to life as of 2/15/10!!!
SOLD- Kinda miss it
94 Del Sol VTEC: 27 city/ 33 highway, knee deep in slowness
SOLD- Good riddance!
2006 Ford Fusion: 2.3, 5 speed, could run 15lbs of boost with a 150 shot and it'd still be slow

The Viper T-56 is built to different spec to be more durable and handle more HP. One of the big weaknesses in the f-body T-56 is the plastic shoft forks.Former Ride: 2002 Pontiac Trans Am WS6 - 345 rwhp, 360 rwtq... stock internally.

I believe the LS1 with long tubes should be in the range of 380ish lbs... I know they list the crate motor as 380 lbs when they sell it, but I am not sure if that includes the manifolds or not. Obviously, long tube headers weigh less than the iron manifolds do.
I don't know how much the T-56 weighs though, sorry.Former Ride: 2002 Pontiac Trans Am WS6 - 345 rwhp, 360 rwtq... stock internally.
