Not Ranked
I hate to be the one to tell you guys, but there are many Cobra's including mine that have had slicks on them and the transmission is still fine. There are alot of 460/514 c.i. engined Mustangs, Fairmonts, etc... running tubbed out with slicks at the drag strip with Tremek TKO transmissions. It is a fact that Tremec "underates" these transmissions, it is just suprising by so much. It would be a crazy statement for someone to say that a SPF Cobra with over the 425+ ft/lbs. torque small block, 485 horsepower 460, 535 horsepower 460, 600 horsepower 514, etc... engined car has never ran with slicks.
Watch a Nascar race and you will see a "rare" rear end problem and they will say that the Ford 9" "style" rearend was only made for up to 450 horsepower and that the Nascar engines are putting out around 750 horsepower.
