Tremec TKO 600 is my reccomendation. And for serious abuse the same unit with "Liberty Gears" (Detroit, Michigan) treatment and enhancements.

I know a guy who abuses his cars like crazy - his TKO600 held up for years behind 700 HP on engine and even put nitrous through it as well. |

The strongest manual that I know of is the Dearborn 3 speed.
GM had a test for stick shift cars called the Bonzai Test and the Dearborn was the only one that survived.

Jericos on the race side. Although one of my Mopar NSS firends has a Liberty box in something like a Muncie case.

My TKO has about 1500 miles on it now.
Guess I need to go out and drop the clutch......

And to get right to the point...the strongest (in no particular order) are Liberty, G Force and Lenco. They are pricey but will handle 1,000+ HP at some obscene weights.

LOL! Look up PY member "Guidos". He has had great success with the TKO and does what it sounds like you are trying to do. He has a great thread in the Racing Forum. |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
