The tremecs are cheap, but work pretty well. I have put the TKO behind 520 inch BB's that made almost 700 ft/lbs and not killed them, you just gotta remember at that much torque to not stomp the heck outta it as other parts may break and you might just do a burnout at 100 mph and crash. You also cannot slam shift them like a gorilla, it takes a little finesse to speed shift them, but you should anyway so you don't spin out when you grab third gear. I don't like the T56 all that much, thwey are bigger, heavier, similar shifting, and cost more. But we all have different tastes, some guys actually paint their cars yellow?
