Your friends have no idea what they are talking about.
T56 is one of the strongest transmissions in production. There are different spec levels for the internal components though, with the Viper being the strongest.
However, the components can basically be interchanged. If you are planning on pushing over 500HP, just have it rebuilt to Viper spec internals, and you're good to go.

it was actually pretty ingenious, saved our cars from coming w/ a gas guzzlers tax and kept GM's fleet MPG down, just GM playing paper tricks on the EPA. its annoying as hell but a simple fix.

Some of the earlier T56 units have a weaker 2nd Gear..I killed mine and had to replace it.
The Skip-Shift actually skips 2nd and 3rd..there is a Solenoid on the side that controls it. When it actuates it shoots a pin into a little groove and forces you into 4th.
You can unplug it and it will work like normal, just have a dash light.
If you are **** like me you can find a plug for it..

with about $425 in parts: carbon blockers, steel 3/4 shift fork, synchro rebuilt kit, bronze fork pads, billet keys the standard T56 is rated at around 700hp by most transmission builders.
Beyond that level you want to look at a Viper output shaft (30 spline) which is about a $600-800 upgrade.
These transmissions are very strong and there are plenty of people that have run 10's with them in stock form. Until it is broken there is no need to pull it apart.
