For a tranny, get a T56 Magnum or a TKO600. A T56 mag is a 6 speed and made take 800 ft-lbf at the crank (if I remember). I cannot remember the specs for a TKO600,but it will definitely survive 600 BHP at the crank.
For a turbo, go with a set-up in which you have two turbos set-up in-line (series or compound) plumbing. And to effectively just about eliminate all turbo lag, go smaller turbos and use the serial(compound) turbo set-up on each bank. Go intercooled; turbos build alot of heat.
But don't forget: rebuild your block for sure.

Regardless of what he's said so far, I have my doubts about his mechanics claims of the HP. Additionally, how much of a race is about the driver? Cuz I've been doing this a while and I dont lose often to vehicles that far outclass me
