Default Stronger transmission

I want to know some brands that sell redone transmissions that are T-56's and are strong enough to hold a lot of h/p.. like about 650 ish and around 550 ft. lb. My car is a 97 LT1 M6.

Rockland standard builds some nasty t-56s.. Give T-56 Rebuilds a call, they will be able to build yours to handle the power as well.
