For what it is worth department, I ran all T-56's in all DoubleVenom's (Viper powered Cobras for the newer guys) the Double Venom II was rated at well over 700 HP with well over 660 lbs of torque. Not that you don't need to follow any other posts, but pay particular attention to post #1. 1st and 2nd are WEAk, the main outboard spline may give you problems and if you do any hard shifting (Drags), you may end up ugrading the shift forks.

Unless you like to pull "wheelies" from a stop sign or redlight, first gear is useless, second not much better. That is why the Stock Viper with a T-56 will come with a "skip shift- which most guys including the Viper guys will disconnect.

For our purposes I like the 3:55 gear for all around use. When my family gave away the first DV at the third Spring Fling the car with street tires and low (for a Viper) HP was turning 11.00 flat at the Drags and broke records at Run N Gun.

I only went through one T-56 when the syncros started to go bad.
