Default Transmission HP?

Can the M12 handle 625 rwhp? I just had the rear end built, new clutch and have a feeling that the next weakest link?

99% sure 550 is the reliability break out point and that is with street tires. Me thinks its time for an upg. I could be wrong however I am by no means an expert. (but no longer a noob *cheers*) Nice power your making there btw

If the T56 is rebuilt properly for racing it can handle

With the optional G-Force mainshafts, these kits have the ability to handle approximately 900* horsepower and 800 ft-lb. of torque depending on the application. Our kit combines the strength of a full-out race transmission with the factory look, drivability, and fit of an OEM installation. The G-Force T-56 conversion requires no case, tailhousing, or shifter modifications to your existing T-56. This means that your stock mounting hardware and dimensions will be utilized. This is not a one-size-fits-all kit.

Stock?? not likely

it depends on how you use it.

occasional spirited driving, it should be fine.

put slicks and launch it hard...it won't last long. that's the funny thing about making all that power. getting it is easy! keeping your driveline ALIVE is not that simple.

good luck.
