Default Transmission Question
What is the suggested and best bang for the buck transmission for an engine with about 500hp/500tq. Going for more hp but have a T-5 rated at around 350.
As usual, any and all suggestions will be appreciated.

For a street car, I'd use a T-56 Magnum 6 speed.

For a track car, I'd use a TKO-600 RR

the 500 and 600 have different first gear ratios, that is why I picked the 600.

500 is 3.27
600 is 2.97
