I guess when you start putting 700+ horsepower through a transmission designed for a Pinto, (LOL!) you can expect that it might have longivity problems....
Bill, when you started this thread , you stated that you used a weight of 3358 lbs. for your HP calculations. In another thread on this forum, titled "More enhancement", someone, who claimed to have been there when the car in question driven by Jimmy Holzman went across the scales, states that the weight was 3485 lbs. Try plugging that into your calculator; 127 additional lbs. should make a significant difference.
