Default very excited

well,its been almost a year since i blew my motor, then got a new one and blew that one as well.
now, thanks to the shop whos working on my car, they ordered me a brand new built 5.4 with forged internals at their cost..By next week, everything should be ready just waiting for the intercooler tubing and then the tune and dyno run in which ima record and post the dynographs on here.so im excited that ima have a supercharged 5.4 in my stang next week
oh and by the way, im swapping the tranny within the next month or two and need opinions in which direction to go with the setup
thanks.

what direction you wanting to go? Auto or manual?

if i were you and were wanting a manual i would get a TKO 600 since you will have some crazy horsepower.

the T-56 is great but you will have to play with the rear gears and calculator to get it set up the way you like it for the track. 5th and 6th gear on the viper spec are low i know 6th gear is .5! so if you have stock gears and you shift into 6th at 65 mph you will probably be at 1400-1500 rpms!

if you decide to go auto mine as well goes ***** out on a C4 with gear vendor or save a few bucks and get built 4r70w with manual valve body at any rate both of these options will cost a lot of money.
