I know it is auto but in the long run that could be the easiest solution to big HP in our cars. A heck of a lot cheaper than what that idiot paid to go RWD in his Cobalt.

jimbo, I am not sure how much tq you are going to be putting to your tansmission but you may want to consider what I refused to, GM Race Prepped AUTOMATIC transmission.

thats how my 1st tranny looked like..now the 2nd one has a smaller hole,but its still cracked open..and both times it wasnt due to wheel hop..they said its because of my excedy clutch..i guess its to strong for our weak trannys

If more power requires the need for a stronger clutch, then an Exedy is a good choice.
If the Exedy is too strong for our transmission to handle, then people who are doing significant builds right now are going to start blowing up transmissions frequently.

So lets take this to a logical conclusion.

i have noticed on thing though, all the guys blowing transmissions are still running the sc, no one has blown a tranny since they went turbo. i have a feeling that is because of the torque curves a way different. the turbo makes for a lot less abuse in the low end. this is all just theory though.
