Rpm transmissions, seen some faceplated t56's hold up pretty well. Look up Taner Bosnali's lt1 car and Ray Bulachs(blue99fbody) blue camaro. Just talk to rpm if you want a good setup. The biggest thing now is spraying the internals with fluid to keep from eating up the gears and such.

I think you can keep a 6 speed pretty reliable around 700 wheel, you just need all the good parts and a good builder to put one together. Stay out of wheel hop and bad suspension setup and it should live.
