Best Manual Transmission for a 500hp 350 TPI?
I want to start swapping my car's transmission from a drag racing 700r4 that came with the car when I bought it to something manual. Whats a good transmission that could handle 500hp comfortably? It'd be cool if I could get one from a junkyard or online or something. It looks like a T56 is a favorite. Should I go with that or something else? Thanks!

I'm making close to 500 crank right now with my GTA and the T-56 is happy as a clam.
Put me down third for this question. 500hp TPI. Power Adder sure, but N/A? I wanna know what TPI other than the First is, or some other welded to hell and back base is going to make that.
