I'm thinking with those kind of ponies it's time to look into a ZF or Richmond six speed. The upside with the six speed is you could run 4:10 gears and still be ok for the street. 84 CF 91 ZR-1

Look in the C5 section, a lot of the guys say that FLP makes a bullet proof 4L60E which is basically the same as the 700r4.
