Yeah - I caught that too.
I'm not suprised there are different versions of trannies for those cars listed. Shoot, when the LT1 came out in '93, there were two different T56s in F-bodies with different gear ratios and different power ratings. I have to wonder if the power rating has more to do with the gear ratio since you are effectively changing the surface area of the gears when changing ratios. I would think that you'd get more surface area when going higher, numerically, in ratios, just like higher spline counts in axles and diffs', but I know that the ring gear starts to change in thickness too which can be a problem.
I agree with the comments on the 10-bolt too. Mine lasted several years on street tires and didn't complain on DRs (pulling consistant 1.6s and 1.7 60') with a bigger converter. My brother broke his during a burnout when we were racing each other. He didn't know it until we are at about 1000' and heard the rear end coming apart; it was loud enough for me to hear...
Maybe we'll have to change the Wiki once everything's confirmed
