hey all, what's up? I'm new to this forum, found it cuz I'm thinking about getting a FFR kit and making my own powertrain combo...

I was just wondering what you guys think of the combo I want to run, any input, pros/cons...

here it is...

forged 331 stroker block, 8.5:1 compression
kenne bell 2200 blower (9 psi street, 13 psi autox, 20 psi strip)
Tremec T56 tranny
carbon composite driveshaft
independent rear suspension (3.73 gears)
17" rims for road course, 15" for drag strip

how does that sound? I know the project is going to take a while to complete, I plan on 2-3 years for it

so what do you think? my main concern is whether the trans will hold up to that much power. I know a T56 can handle about 475 lbs of torque in a mustang, but since the FFR is so much lighter, any estimates on how much more it'll handle?

Power? That's no power. That little 331 stroker is a peanut compared to some of the other setups on this forum.

I'm only looking to push out 600-700 HP, which shouldn't be too hard if I get the right pullies to up the boost, maybe put a direct port nitrous system on it. not sure about that yet

The problem will all these cars is hookup. After a certain point of horsepower and torque, you can not take advantage of all the torque and horsepower from a standing start. Apply too much and the wheels will spin. This keeps the peak max torque load on your clutch to less than you have in theory. I would guess than 475 will handle everything since the wheel spin will be your safety valve.

Once you are rolling, the load on your trans will be consistent and not peaking. Then you can safely handle more than the trans is rated in theory.

I put in a TKO II road race transmission just to be safe with over 500 hp and torque and having a usable 5th gear for open track and regular driving.
