600HP? First question is do you have a stock bottem end engine? Because if you do thats gonna blow before the trans. If you have a stock engine your limited to 420-450 max rwhp youll also need a rather big fuel system to support that power as well, I don't know if your thinking your just gonna but a supercharger and slap it on for 600rwhp its not that cut and dry in this case, which a stock tranny can handle for a pretty long period of time if it isn't abused. Next question is are you looking for a auto or standard?

^+1,

Like "uber" said the stock engine's bottom end will blow long before you get to 600 rwHP...

As to the transmission in your '02 (assuming it's a 5-speed) it is a Tremec 3650 and good to 500 to 600 lbft (transmissions are rated by torque, not horsepower)--which at 5252 rpm in 4th gear happens to be 500 to 600 HP. Here is a link to a great description of the 3650...

Yes - OP what is your budget most people don't just go from stock to 600 rwhp but it is rather a progression. Built motor, Heads and Cams, fuel system, etc.

FYI - I am running on a stock tranny and rear end with no problems but I don't track my car. Not saying this is ideal but tranny is the not your first problem.

To answer your question MMR has good stuff and nicely modified trannies. Also you might want to consider Viper t-56 6 speed.

the T-56 from the 03/04 cobra would probably be the best route to go like he said^
