Use the search buttom rookie.
Stock torque rating is around 500ft/lbs I believe.
With upgraded steel shift forks, carbon blockers, and synchros an otherwise stock T56 in a 3500lb Fbody can handle 700rwhp/700rwtq. Beyond that you want a Viper output shaft and potentially other parts for reliability. There are a few vendors on here that can build you one. Costs around $1K to have one (you supply) built.
A few people have run 1000rwhp thru a stock T56 and upgraded clutch on the dyno... will it do it.... yes... with any form of traction in the real world environment will it last.... absolutely not.

My car makes 650hp/730tq and I have a stock t56 with a spec 3+ and stck adj. master cylinder. And so far I have put around 3k miles on it with no hic-ups so far. I know it wont last long, just saying its possible. Thats with MANY street runs, and probably 20+ track passes. BTW the transmission come from a car with 120K miles on it.
