He was a huge help when I was installing a 26 spline input shaft on my T45 Source built T45. Even talked with me on the phone and gave me some very helpful info to make sure I was able to do it correctly. I've also been very pleased with my T45. It was one of Zak's last builds before he quit. It's his "Street Heat" build with reverse fix as talked about above. Stan at Pro-Force has said that a T45 with a 26 spine input shaft is generally considered "good" to the 600hp mark. Mine has held up perfectly in my Vortech supercharged '96. It held up to 520whp for about 2 years, and has continued to hold right at 650whp for the last year and a half. I think the weak link in these transmissions is the third gear. At a certain power level it will strip the teeth off of third gear, and from my understanding, there are no other reproduction gears for this transmission. I would love to see a company produce aftermarket gears for these transmissions, but I'm sure the market just isn't there for it. I've been looking into a T56 magnum and TKX due to the T45's third gear, but it's currently holding close to 650whp with no complaints.</blockquote>
