Default Advise on built t56

I need to see what transmission I need for my car.
2006 Gto six speed, 402 stoker with plans of using nitrous (200-250 shot)
Would the rpm level 5 work for me?
Opinions wanted..

Talk to RPM. But I'd build it as strong as I could afford to. Build it right, build it once.

Of course, once th trans is built, your drive train is only as strong as the next weakest link. Good luck

Actually he responded to me this morning lol.
He said I'll need a level 5 magnum.. But I figure just the standard level 5 would work for me. I won't be on nitrous till next season, plus I won't be using it all the time anyway.
