Default What transmissions would you recomend

I have a 91 RS, i took out the 305 and dropped a 350 .30 over that is running close to 350-360 hp, when i did the swap i left the t5 in and just threw a hayes street/strip clutch kit at it. Currently im on my 3rd clutch in about 4 months, and dont say i cant drive, i had the car for 3 years prior to the swap and the stock clutch was still good when i took it out. My problem is first of all my motor eats clutches and recently ate my t5.

i do drive the car on the street but i want it to be fast as possible, i have a 355posi out of my friends ls1, but i need a trans that is both strong, and will destroy everyone i line up with. And it also has to be able to handle the supercharger in the cars future and my 100 shot of nitrious that i have already

let me know what you guys think about trans and clutch thanks

Check out 5speeds.com. They have a Muncie section where they sell brand new muncie M20, M21, M22's. I bet their M22 fully dressed will handle that motor. But, from what I've been told by some of my fellow forum members is that the M22 is a bit noisy.

I would check out Mad Dog transmissions. They have good prices and ship to your door step. You can find them on ebay for sell as well. I got a Godfather NHRA transmission that can hold over 700hp for $1170 that came with a one year warrenty with unlimited mileage.

An m22 sounds good, thats a 4 speed right?

One question would it bolt up. and what do I do with the tourque arm from the rear end to the trans

I would like to eliminate it or attach it some other way because ive broken two, and a bunch of thoose mounts

thanks

Get a torque arm that mounts to the cross member, check out Spohn they have them. You can get a T56 that will hold whatever you can though at it from http://www.g-forcetransmissions.com/default.htm .. Not to pick on you but you will also need a lot more power to destroy anything you line up with

Often it is the most fundemental things that are overlooked.
http://www.precisionmeasure.com/fixt5.htm
The above link I looked for and found because my pilot bushing is going and I just replaced it about eight months ago.
I think I could have a bellhousing alignment issue and that you could as well.
It could certainly cause you to eat some clutches
