T56 stage2 $1000-$1800
T56 magnum $3000 but will withstand up to 700 ft.-lbs of torque

The Magnum is stronger obviously but isn't a direct bolt in for an f body. Shifter is further forward and there's no where to bolt a trans mounted TA.
I put a stage 2 kit from tick in the t56 in my 89. It shifts nice but nothing significantly ups the strength.

Thanks everyone! It takes moderate modifications to adapt an f-body tailhousing to the Magnum. That's why the built/upgraded Magnum w/ SSR tailhousing sells for $4200-5000 depending on where you buy it. So you chose wisely
