RE: TKO Vs. T56 Viper spec
i dont know if reliability would really come into play, as his sig only lists a mild exhaust mod.
whats your purpose for the new trans on such a stock vehicle? stock ones broke? or do you have high HP goals? If you plan on doing an all outdrag racingoriented car, I'd say TKOfor reliabilty like was previously mentioned....but if you plan on doing mild modifications and do a lot of highway, that 6th gear will really make a difference on your cruising mileage.
either way, unless your stock trans is absolutely dead on an otherwise stock car, spending thousands on either a TKO or a T56 is in my opinion a waste....

if i had the money i would go for the viper spec t56. i dont see the tko being any stronger than that trans and it would be nice to have a wild set of rear gears and still get decent mileage with the double overdrive.
