To upgrade T56 or not? 700rwhp...
New bullet will be a touch over 700 at the wheels (N/A). No 1/4 mile abuse intended but can expect the occasional spirited street runs. Not a DD either....just weekend therapy .
Current T56 has only 15k on the clock but would I be running on borrowed time? Swapping out the 10bolt for an S60 or 9", I feel the trans is going to be the weak link. Thoughts? Help and guidance is appreciated!

You should be fine using a T56 at your power level. Upgrade the shift related parts prone to break and while you are at it, upgrade the output shaft to a 30 spline version that comes in the Viper.

With 700rw, I would definitely upgrade to the steel 3/4 fork, billet keys, and output shaft. Stock is 27-spline, and youre really pushing its limits above 650rw. Personally I like the 31-spline shaft upgrade over the Viper 30-spline. Or you can even go 32-spline if you also upgrade the gears/rings to triple cone. I can do the ring upgrade (Corvette-style) for $250 right now. Normally it is much more than this.
