Default Stock M6 is good for ??? HP

As in title... What is my 6speed good for RWHP? I have addressed the clutch issue, but I want to know if the Trans itself is gonna survive.

I have a buddy that is running 680rwhp through a stock t56 with a spec 3 clutch. Plus he has a 50shot through that with his blower and 383.

if you dont hurt with bad shifting or clutch issues it will hold alot. Mine has done a ton of 1.44 sixty foots and has had 700+ rwhp thrown at it for some time now. Bone stock.

I *think* Matt Harlan went 10.1 back in the day with his first turbo kit on a stock 6-speed with a good clutch. Dont quote me on that one though.
