Has anyone been that quick with a stock 5 speed transmission and tcase? If not, who are some of the quickest? And what clutch setup are they running? I'm trying to figure out how to make my stock gearbox last as long as possible with 700+whp.

Don't jump down my throat either. I know it'll only be a matter of time before it explodes but the longer it lasts, the better, especially since auto parts are getting more and more expensive by the minute
 
I absolutely expect some sort of catastrophic failure at that power level. I'm constantly on the hunt for an auto car to get the full drivetrain swap and get rid of the 5 speed stuff I currently have. I basically just wanted to know if anyone has been able to make itinto the 9's or is it 100% impossible. I also didn't mention that the engine internals are 100% untouched. Only mods within the engine & trans are ARP headstuds, headgasket, and clutch/flywheel. I like going against all odds

You better have one hell of a tune then for that to even have a remote chance of working. I like that tho LOL
 
I don't expect it to last very long. I know I will be pushing everything beyond the limits and that's the fun part of it all.

Fuel will be 93 for going to shows and meets but for race days, it'll be c16

You are going to have a catastrophic failure shortly. Just have another engine ready to go in with the correct internals. Depending on the failure, the engine might just be trash. Hard to say what will let go at that power level, because anything can. And if you spin a bearing or something good luck cleaning your turbo out and anything else oil touches. Hopefully you at least can get a few passes out of it first.
