<----- 343 ft lbs with a VF35, still going strong.....touchwood etc..
I don't do qrt mile racing like BOB'5 though. It's a cruel on your transmission. Asuuming you have a healthy box, the car is mapped appropriately and you drive with mechanical sympathy, you should be ok.
Always sensible to budget for the worst, hope for the best, IYSWIM!

Budget around the 2.2k mark, closer to 3k if you need the clutch and flywheel replaced

I always say the same thing in these instances: hope for the best, budget for the worst. I think thats the responsible advice to give someone.
