With that being said, a stock out of the box Mag from Tremec will NOT fit in a 4th gen. Tick and RPM both sell modified units that bolt right in, and are also rated at 900+rwtq (Tick is the better deal IMO). I have the equivalent to that Level 3 in the link above and I don't see it lasting very long on the longer pulls. The one thing that seems to pro long the life of these T56s is installing a fluid sprayer system onto the trans to keep everything lubricated at speed...

Doesn't one of the TX mile record holders have a T56 dog box with an oiling system? Last I heard a PPG geared T56 with an fluid system was the top dog. Could be mistaken though, it's been a while.
Granted that's probably not in his budget nor appropriate.
