My 383 is almost finished and will have a little north of 500hp and slightly more torque. I currently have a Getrag 5LM60 or nv3500 5spd and im wondering if i should replace it with something stronger. Currently dont have posi and this is a 4wd application. I had an sm465 in my previous truck (an 89 k1500) and honestly loved it. Thought about going with a 6spd (has option for low 1st) so i would effectively have 5 gears for economy purposes (take what i can get there).
If i am correct then my current tranny has a 10 spline and im worried once i get a little heavy in the foot i might break things. I refuse to own an automatic. Any input is always appreciated.
