L61 manual Transmission

Hey guys, I got a question hopefully someone can help me out. I am doing a complete build on my 2.2 motor. My biggest question is building my transmission. The transmission needs to hold 800hp comfortably. I found Level 5 Drive shafts to support my build. Also, a lot of shops only deal with auto trans. I need a shop that will do mostlikely a custom build on my manual trans. Does anyone know of a shop?? I don't care if I must ship it either. I just need to get this question answered. Thanks a lot everyone.

Yea my goal is between 750 and 800HP. I wont be satisfied until I hit it. I defiantly will keep you guys posted and updated. Everything is ripped apart right now. I am doing a full build on the 2.2 motor. My biggest problem right now is getting my trans built. My trans is going to be all custom. The Automatic trans is the one that they usually use for the build. But, I want mine to stay manual. Other than that I have everything planned out. I will put pictures up to. Specially at the end

Yes for the most part. But, some of that stuff they don't make anymore so I had to find other parts of the same quality and specs.

If you cant find a place to build you one just CRYO the one you havve that will help out quite a bit to make it stronger.

Basically freezing the parts or something like that to make it stronger.

Nice thanks a lot. I'm guessing the process takes the stress out of the parts. Something to def. keep in mind if I am unable to find a shop to do it.

Cryo freezing parts makes them stronger but also more brittle,So when they break,they really break.I would cryo treat it though,
