If I were to get a Twin Turbo put on my V6 would the present transmission be enough to handle the incress in power ????

Depends on how you drive it. If hard it will eventually fail....but to date all our V6 FI builds are still living fine as far as transmission. Just keep in mind your increasing power app 150%!!!

Ive got a question about this too. I heard through a little birdy that the 2012 LS camaro models have a different transmission for boosting up MPG. How would it cope with a twin turbo set up? if the car is never raced/ Never taken in excess of CA speed limits (Below 80MPH) BTW. sorry if my questions are noobish, but i am very serious about a TT setup down the road, already have 6k set aside for a set.

the 2ls (automatic) has a lower diff gear ratio. otherwise, i believe the transmission is the same as it has been since 2010.

Is this going to be an issue? Would it be beneficial to upgrade to a 3.55 set? Its only about a 10% increase in torque.

Nothing as of yet is CARB certified when it comes to FI JSYK.
