Default How much power can you throw at a T56?

I am running a new combo this year, and I have been wondering how long this T56 is going to last!

Last year the tranny was rebuilt with viper internals. This year i will be running a H/C Forged 347, with more than likely 2 stages of nitrous. up to 350. 402L pressure plate, 910 Disc, w/steel Ram flywheel.

I would like to see what kind of times I can run with the m6, but at the same time I would like to pull out the whole new tranny/clutch and sell it for a th/400 setup.

I have customers running high 9's in the 1/4 mile with a t56 . Alot of variables go into the strenght of your setup . Tires size , clutch style and strenght , weight of car and driving skills .

I would say the clutch strength is there, tire size is 28x10.5Wx15 ET DRAG, i'm no pro at shifting but I would say I pretty much can drive the **** out of it. Weight is my biggest factor right now, probably sitting about 3500.

yes please, my A4 keeps crapping out on me, in dummy terms, what would it take to swap A4 to M6 and have something that won't break every few months?
