Challys 6-Speed Tranny only capable of 450 ft. lbs torque, what about the Camaro?
Me and a bunch a people was talking to the engineers at SRT and it seems the TR-6060 6-speed MT is only capable of 450 FT. of torque and since the 6.1 has 420 FT. stock this is
Conversation: This is straight from the SRT Engineer Chat Session last night. Quote:
So since the maro has the same six-speed, does it has the same bottle neck the chally does? hope not

Can't that be fixed with a different clutch?

Maybe a little...but grab a spinning object with your hand and don't let go...if it's got enough power behind it, it'll tear your arm off. Now you could get a better hand...but your arm will still get torn off if it's got enough power(ie over 450ft/lbs in this case)
What's interesting is that this engineer said "at least 450..." poor choice of words? fwiw, GM's site says the Corvette's TR6060 is capable of handling "425ft/lbs engine torque"....... |

The ZR1 supercharged 6.2-liter LS9 engine has 638 horsepower and 604 pound-feet of torque. Tremec trans.
To cope with the power, a two-disc clutch is fitted, and the gearbox and rear axle have been further strengthened. The gear ratios are closer than those of the Z06. |
