I don't think your going to find much more from a manual then about 900-1000HP. There are a few 9 seconds 4th gens using an upgraded T56 and not having problems, but who knows how long they will last.

I also don't think there are many trans that will hold up due to the wieght on our cars. Even a Lenco will die in a 3000+ LB car. Not sure if Baxter was running a TH350 or glide in his 97Z. But he was around 1300HP and I know he hurt a few trans.
