Its the old saying. Your car is only as strong as the weakest link. I knew a few guys with an 8 3\4 that twisted the housing. As far as trans go I've always run a Jerico with an Advanced Clutch. After about 700 runs on the Jerico finally broke a shift finger. With my combo I would not hesitate to run a Jerico. But its also not an 800hp engine. A lot of people forget that if you have too aggressive of a clutch I don't care what trans you have the life expectancy is short.
