Your six speed will be fine jef,there are plenty running 600+ on them without problems.

Six speed will be fine no need to change it whatsoever.

I've done 40 or so drag runs at well over 500bhp (closer to 600) Madhammer runs a 6 speed with 727bhp and his standard Hawkeye six speed is coping fine.

OEM 6sp is 'proven'.

I think its stronger than SC's and PPG(?)
