Now that is something I had never seen. it was done by PA they walked by the guy before it broke and asked is that our trans he said yea the guy just cringed and walked away. his goes back around 4 times a year for a rebuild or repair due to braking it but like said it is 1000 hp car that is around 3400#..LOL

I swapped from a T5 to a C4. 4.10 gears and 27in tire. Im wanting to switch to a 4.88ish gear soon though. I rarely street drive, but when I do I try to avoid interstates

Put it this way, if your building some what of a street strip or weekend warrior car put the c4 in. when I had my tko600 I was running 12.0s at 120 mph, the car was 60' horrible around 1.95s, I made the switch to my c4 with a 4800 stall converter (yes I drive it all spring summer and fall up to 70 miles a night with no problems get a good cooler) the first time out the car went 11.33 at 121, then after some suspension tuning I have made a best of 10.88 at 123.60mph. Ive done no motor changes other components changes besides the trans and using the trans brake. So go with the c4 if you plan on racing it somewhat.
