If it's never gonna see slicks at the drags and you are running a 3.50 rear gear you will never break any of the trans listed above. Seems like you want to build for an occurance that will never happen

I think you misunderstood, I already have a tremec, IF I break that then the last thing I am going to do is replace it with another trans that is rated at a simular amount of torque.......and IF it breaks (like it did with my last mustang that made CONSIDERABLY less torque than this one will make) then I will need to find something with a higher rating, that's why I posted the question,

Never say never........

I believe Cobra Automotive builds Top Loader transmissions with straight cut gears (aka Jerico internals). They are a pretty penny but nothing like shifting without depressing the clutch.

Check out the last video on the page: http://www.cobraautomotive.com/race_movies.htm and listen to what I'm talking 'bout!

With as much torque as you will have, your 3.50s will be fine. For the high-speed runs like the Silver State, you can always swap the rears for a set of 3.25s or lower to keep the RPMs and temperatuers down.
