I agree.
The majority of failures are caused by stress on components due to soft bushings, mounts, ect. These components can't take the abuse of hard launches and high horsepower, and when they flex, they throw everything else off. Amazing the damage that can be done to transmission tail housings and pinions due to excessive movement.
As you said, the TR6060 alone is rated to 700ft/lbs, and I've heard from Tremec directly that the spec is a "very conservative" number. Guys run over 700ft/lbs through Viper spec T56's, and with the upgrades to the TR6060, those kinds of numbers are nothing
