Default How much HP can the borg warner T-10 tranny handle?

Planning the power upgrade, would the T-10 tranny hold up to 425 ft / lbs of torque?

Here's a good list:

It should handle it if you don't race it too hard. Slicks and 5000 RPM launches are hard on trannies.

Fevre,

Thanks, I'm not sure I understand the chart. Is the torque figure to the far right the max torque that tranny can handle?

Thats the torque it is rated at - that doesnt mean that instant detonation of internals occurs the moment you exceed that number.

Like mentioned before - the big issue is if you hook - if you dont hook - the tranney will support just about any torque you care to throw at it - you put on slicks and run it hard with clutch dumps and you may want to consider the number on the chart indicated.
