Just wondering if the trans will hold up to 550hp

 

[Magnum PD]

Yeah it should. Also depends on the driver.

the one in my pulling truck held a lot more than that but running in low side on the transfer helps take load off the trans. should be fine in either side as long as you don't abuse it to much by ding things like dumping the clutch

Ok thank you all

the question is not sound. I bet you could break it at 550hp if you strike it hard enough. the clutch plays a role in trans survival even in dedicated racing transmissions.
application?

Its also not the hp that will break it. The 1000+ ft lb of Torque at those power levels is what is hard on a drive train. All depends on how you drive it. Dump the clutch too many times shock loading the drive train will likely eventually show you what the weak link is.
