Shoot for 650-700 at the wheels, it's just a weekend driver.

If you're not racing it on a sticky track with sticky tires, I don't think it makes much difference at all. The T56 would be on the ragged edge without an healthy upgrade to the internals. The 4L60E will definitely need a beefy rebuild by a shop that has extensive experience with 9-second cars. Or look into a 4L80E install.

Thanks for the advice. I was either going to have the t56 built up or go the 4l80e route. Than of course I saw a few post regarding the 6l90e setups.

In the end I would prefer not to butcher the center console, if that makes sense.

Forgot to ask do you think the moser 12 bolt would handle it or should I go with my gut and get a nice 9"?

After some long thinking I have decided it would be a smart move to just find a 99+ roller and make it a project that to mess up a perfectly good Z4C camaro.
