Super T-10 in SS/H Camaro

[Hemiparts]

How would a Super T-10 stand up in a sml-blk SS/H Camaro?? I know the " clutchless" styles are best but I have access to a T-10 set-up complete.

Chris obviously the better choice is a Jerico or GForce. It will be cheaper in the long run to pay more up front for Jerico etc. That said I ran a Super T10 pro shifted with Liberty Gears behind a 65 Chevy II 283 for 3 seasons before it broke. Everyone said it won't last 3 runs. That was also with the old style clutch 2800lbs shifting at 9400. My Jerico shifts so nice compared to that T10 ill tell you that. Ed

Jerico will save you money in the long run. I had a SS/I Camaro 350 years ago (1977-78) and before we went with the P/G ran a Super T-10 and it didnt last long. Then ran a "slick shifted" Chrysler A833 I got from Larry Kopp out of his H/G Corvette. It lasted much longer but still gave it up after a couple of years. If you cant afford the cluthless Jerico at least go with the one used in stockers

I would think it would be like a tootsie pop. 3 licks and you would get to see the inside!

Good one!!
Seriously, If you have a good Super T-10, I think you would be much better off selling it, and putting that money towards a proper race transmission. When I first built my M/Stock Mustang, I too thought that the factory T5 would be good enough to get my feet wet, unfortunately, the wetness came from oil from the broken T5`s! By the end of that 1rst year, all I had left was a T5 with a bent mainshaft, and the remnants of 2 other damaged transmissions. And that was with a lower classed Stocker, a decent SS/H car should be about 2 1/2 seconds quicker than my Mustang was at that time. Buying a couple of used Jericos was money very well spent. The Jerico in my Mustang has been as reliable as an iron anvil , and the other trans in my 10.0/132mph bracket car went 10 years before it needed any repairs ($300.00 worth of 3rd gear parts.) Plus with a Jerico (or G Force) you can get many different gear ratios, including changing individual ratios, where the ratios in a ST10 will NOT be even close to optimal.
