I posted couple of days ago regarding a broken tranny. I still dont know what went bad as its being shipped to a transmission shop and has not been diagnosed yet . But my question is at 430H.P. and 420 trq. at the wheels should I upgrade anything while it is being taken apart? I dont abuse the car, but engage in some spirited driving once in awhile.

My assumption is that the T56 should handle my HP\Torque levels with ease. Seems to me a lot of you are running a lot more thru the the stock unit. I just happened to have a marginal part from the factory that went south on me. Stock tranny has only 13k on it. Appreciate your thoguhts.

P.S. I have already suppiled them with a new FRPP TOB and upgraded retainer sleeve from Lethal and new pilot bearing.

It should hold the power fine, but while it's out there's no harm in upgrading the clutch/input shaft to a 26 spline unit.
