street twin T56 owners who use ET streets, inside please!!
Hey guys
Just wondering how everyone's t56 is standing up to launching on et streets with a street twin.
Has anyone broken anything? What kind of 60' times are you getting? What RPM are you launching at? And how much hp and tq do you have?

I busted my stock Torque Arm. That was just on the only run I've had so far with my BFG Drag Radials. I pulled a 2.001 60' foot launching @ 4000rpm. It rained, and I couldn't go back and try @ 5000rpm. I'm sure I can get 1.8-1.9 60's with a little more practice. Maybe lower.

Using ET Streets & 15 x 10 welds with street twin and 6k drops. I managed a 1.80 60ft on a 3 inch dropped ws6 (LT1). The launches were pretty violent with the car being lowered 3 inches ! Even with the airbag the car would still spin a little bit before it would hook. I never dead hooked the car, but I'm sure if I put stock springs back in the car would probably do 1.7's maybe 1.6's. My T56 held up to all of this until just recently and I had it rebuilt to Viper specs. 
I would not worry to much about the T56. It can take a lot !

I got down to 1.51 sec with mine on a high-performance street type suspension. I'd worry about the rear end (if it's stock) beofre worrying about the T56.

like Timex watches, the T56 takes lickin and keeps on tickin
the LS1 T56's seem to be more problematic, atleast the master and slave cylinder neway
i wouldnt be too worried about it. how much power are you putting thru it and do you powershift it?

power is enough to run 105mph at elevation in a 3800 lb car. I might take the back seats and sub out to try to lighten it up to help the drivetrain!
