It's rated at 700 lb-ft of torque.. however, if you toss on a set of slicks the "torque spike" when the car hooks can break the trans.
Then again, on street tires you could run 1000 hp though the trans since it will never hook.
Hard shocks is what kills transmissions.
The main differences between the various TR6060 varients is in gearing and in the front case/tail shaft areas. Acutally most have the same gearing except the ZR1 which has a very close ratio setup.
I will talking with the Tremec guy all next week.. what questions do you want me to ask?
