That has everything to do with my ****ty driving, not the capabilities. 1.9 was best... But I am a terrible driver.

Yup, but with that 60' you're not putting any more stress on the drivetrain then you would have with street tires, so again, not the same

Scored a AIS/Snow Performance Methanol Injection Stage 2 kit today with upgraded stainless steel lines, two nozzles, snow flow gauge and snow safe module. I'm going to run this setup non-intercooled, after a ton of research. Look into the cooling effect of atomized fuel on IATs in blow-thru carbed turbo setups before bashing me. Combined with a meth kit, there very well may be frost on the intake manifold after a WOT run haha.
Oh, I also got a mint OEM black center console too...

Yeah, I'm getting excited about this build. Suddenly I want quadruple digits, but I can't get retarded with the power goal this time around. Wanna take the ferry down to Long Island and help me put this thing together once I get the trans, heads and intake manifold/carb?
Beer and transportation is on me...
Hell yeah. I'm gonna need some help for sure. None of my friends are into cars, I'm all alone out here. It's gay as AIDS.
Agreed, I've broken 3 T5s, and never on a launch. Always on the 1-2 shift or 2-3 shift. On street tires.
It's all in how it's driven and how well the trans was put together in the first place. And I suck at driving so...
That was me in college. I spent a LOT of time fixing my buddies' cars for them.

Pretty sure this just backs me even more.

I'm not disagreeing with you, just reinforcing the point that it's hard to put a "fixed" number on what will break a transmission.

I have the viper t56 behind my 640ish rwhp 363, it works fine. Howerver 6th is useless with 3.27s
The viper spec t56 is the direction I'm leaning strongly towards now. Don't know of a 5 speed that will handle over 800 horsepower at the crank.
Would you recommend I go with 3.27 or 3.55 rear gear ratio on this build?
