Hi everyone im thinking im gunna need a stronger transmission soon, anyway ive heard that RSG Rockland Standard Gear makes a new one called the tranzilla, is that the only option for our cars? any one with info would be a great help, thanks guys.
I dont think youre goin to need a trans that'll take something like 1500 lb/ft. Unless you're making an obscene amount of power Transzilla would just be a waste of money.
Jesus...1300RWHP? What are you running and where (other than the drag strip) could you use that kind of power? Surely not the street. I would think all kinds of things are going to have to go to tough school to deal with that kind of power.
Good luck.

Paul who? ANyway Im on long island in new york got a tt setup that has made over 1k on md dyno im gunna up the boost with a little somethin else and I might buy an alky kit. All in all I wanna be sure my tranny isnt gunna bit the bullet and if it does i wanna have a backup ready.
am I missing something? Youre saying you have made dyno pulls of over 1000 rwhp through the stock trans? Anyways, with that much power, there is no point in keeping a manual trans. You wont be able to use the power on the street, and at the track you will just keep breaking things. Go with a built TH400 or powerglide. Paul, as someone referred to earlier, has the quickest Z06 on the planet and runs a powerglide in a TT Z06. However, since you did ask for alternatives, RPM transmissions aka Rodney is highly recommended and is a forum sponsor (http://www.rpmtransmissions.com/)
Although, like I said, no manual trans is going to take 1300 to the wheels for very long without breaking every drivetrain part. My own $.02.

Rockland, who makes the Transzilla, makes a bunch of different T56 based transmissions. There ought to be something which will fit your application, whether by them or some company I've never heard of. I really don't know much about Transzilla in particular except from what I read in Hot Rod a little while ago... 1200 hp capable supposedly. No reason why a modified t56 shouldnt go into a c5. If it were I, I'd go with a manual transmission even if it meant that I had to sacrifice power. Then again I was never much of a drag racer.
