G-force transmissions
Does anyone with a high, power and torque, setup run a G-Force transmission? If so, what is your opinion about it? Been thinking qbout this upgrade and looking for some advice.
Thanks

I believe a Full G-Force Tranny is very expensive...

At your level, I would not replace it unless it broken or going out or you are going drag racing. I think two stock mainshafts have broken at 900 rw torque.
I would have to agree with Joel. The RPM transmission is very good and I know it will hold what you are putting down.

Give RPM a call!
If your going to run on a drag radial at your power level I would certain run a 9310 mainshaft. I have seen MANY stock shafts broken in the 500/500 range let alone 700+.

I bought the G-force complete T-56 with 4340 300M mainshaft, coupler and bearing upgrade, billet keys, 5th and 6th gears (I bought the 262 with SET1 overdrive)...basically everything you can get. I just ordered it a couple of weeks ago so I don't have any impressions yet. I paid $7,065 shipped. I ordered from Mark at G-Force.
My gear ratios are 2.62 1.73 1.35 1.00 0.86 0.73 and the transmission will be mated to the DTE Level 5 3.42 differential with billet right side and DTE brace. I got taller 1st and 2nd to help alleviate wheel spin in lower gears, which should also be fun for road racing. 5th and 6th should pull like crazy...up to 212 MPH with my rear tires and 6,800 RPM fuel cut.
