how good is the t56? I am trying to find out how much high rpm shifts the car can take on the stock T56 and how much power it can handle before it breaks? thanks for any responses.

Ive heard of people with 850+ horse running stock t56's and still abusing them. It has a lot to do with having a good clutch that saves your tranny from grinding gears and what not.

the t56 is quite good in my own opinion
on of the s-sereis guys did this to his stock nv3500
he is now running an aftermarket t56 and running 11's in the 1/4 with no problems
seeing his trans failure was enough to make me switch to a t56, i dont need to loose a leg cuz i scattered a tranny
