TKO is easier, and probably cheaper... did you make any passes on it?"I am not what you so glibly call to be a civilized man.

2 but nothing to write home about, shift cable was mis-adjusted so they were pretty slow.
oh and Crank case pressure going down the track at WOT stays about 2kpa above the baseline. It's good to know that there isn't any excessive pressure, i'd still like more of a vacuum though.Comment

How much do TKOs cost?Originally posted by ericjon262 View Post'89 Firebird, 3500 Turbo, T56, 9-bolt/4.11

I see them used for about 1K all the time, and IIRC, it's based on a T5, which should make it more of a bolt in and go deal."I am not what you so glibly call to be a civilized man.

I decided on a t56 mostly because I already had it. So far the majority of cost in getting it to work has been buying the clutch and flywheel. The sbc adapter is only $70 iirc.
6 speeds with 4.11 gears is fun

At least it looks like it's a set of spiders and nothing real expensive and a pain to set up like a ring and pinion.

I might have to re-think my rear end choice after watching those vids.
