Well if you want a drag racing 5-speed the only tranny is the tremec TKO 500 or TKO 600. This is a nice beefy 5 speed that while heavy is a beefy stronge tranny.

If you want a 6speed then you would want a modded Tremec T-56. The modded ones can handle up to 1,000hp. The regular T-56 can hold 650ft lbts which might be all you need. But it isnt the best Drag racing tranny.

So in short for a drag car the TKO is the way to go, for a street monster you might wanna use the T-56 so you can run taller gears and have lower rpms on the highway.
