your car doesn't have enough power to break the trans, and the clutch should be just fine as long as you dump it instead of slipping it

like i said, go all out dawg

I disagree, dead hooking from 6700rpm dumps with 430whp never caused any problems with mine. Same thing with 550whp. The trans is really stout compared to the rear/clutch.

Tranny problems usually stem from racing with improperly working hydraulics or a dragging clutch. Ie, grinding gears.
