On our Dyno our old shop car a 2010 GT with cams ,cold air ect only made 310 RWHP,for comparison our 11 Saleen/GT put down 371 RWHP stock.I love the Z's and G's but a stock 5.0 mustang will walk any stock Z in a strait line.

I am a big fan of the T-56! I know there is replacement kit available, so that's something to think about in the future if I decide to do some big build with this car.

But for my purposes right now it seems like the MT-82 is a fine transmission. I think with the Barton short shifter and mounting bracket it will make it even better. I'm not really a big fan of the semi-remote input style, but it hasn't given me any grief yet.

We had a custom T-56 built to our specs and just fabed up a cross member in our shop. There are build pictures on our facebook page . Performance Autosport
