Talking Putting 270 ft lbs in the back, stick with stock tranny?

Ok, I know the obvious answer is no, and it would be smart to do that right from the start, but as of right now the engine, brakes, and everything to get the car rolling, and out of the shop on its own is more important than my 1/4 mile times right now. So, my question is, How long will that trans last in that car, as long as I pussy-foot it?

After this one goes, i'm going to start looking for maybe a 5-speed transmission, i've read on here that a porsche 901 trans will work, and I think it can handle the power. The engine is supercharged and it has a 12 psi pully on right now, but I have the option of putting on the 22 psi pully and crank the engine to over 350 ft lb. The car will also be driven on nice days, dragged when I want to take it to the track, and still drive to distant events, so a 5th is a must unless I want to stay at 5 grand the whole way!!

What kind of trans would you recommend that I look into to satisfy my needs?

Thanx
-Mike :agree:
