Hello, Really? Have you ever heard of a stock tranny that can hold 1000hp? Seems excessively unlikely to me, but it is a nice thought! Damon

No. They were not designed for that. The clutch will act as a buffer by slipping-a lot. If the clutch is changed to a real heavy duty unit the trans will break-this is assuming there is traction at the rear wheels.

I'm going to have the same issue, but figure... will see what happens. Expecting 1,100 lbsft & 1,500hp. T56 Magnum etc etc.expecting the 6-speed to be the weakest link but probably won't see much abuse.. some specialist shops say they can build T56 to handle 1500hp alright but north of $8,500.
