Either way, a 20B + 6spd would be what I'd go with.

I don't know about "terrible" but they can't handle street tire wheel hop on a Viper running 6psi. I helped pick up a bunch of large pieces of the tail housing at the track down at Bradenton Motorsports Park one afternoon. It was said by others there that it was no big deal because Vipers **** drivetrain parts all the time.

Well no **** that it would make over 400...p-ports! (the best sounding ports). I know Rick Engman made a little over 340 @ flywheel with a stock 20B deturbo'd and with a custom exhaust manifold and tuning on his engine dyno. I would imagine that a 20B with S5 rotors, better intake and mild porting would be damn near 400hp. At the point at which I can afford a 20B swap, it would have a full p-port...and be turbo.

LS9 with a set of ported heads and a smaller pulley. The trans would have to be a TR6060 and a 7.5 rear end with 3.27 gears and a trutrac.
The T56 is not a bad transmission once built, but they do have flaws out of the box. Paper frictions and stamped keys come to mind. I eventually have to pull mind down and replace those before it gets locked in 3rd, 4th, or reverse (yes, I've had them stuck in ALL those gears before)

Gorden monsen on rx7club has a street ported 20b with s5 rotors and a stoke intake lim/uim and iirc made 375whp at like 8700rpm. After dabbling with turbo rotaries for quite some time I think that n/a is the way to go for reliability.
