I dont know how much longer that tranny would even last though. I would be looking into a really nice art carr or something that comes with a shift kit and torque converter. Those are quality peices

If he wants to run 10 seconds he would have too get a pretty nice tranny. I would say more in the $1800+ range to handle 600+ horsepower.
