Default whos racing a manual trans in a full size?

I blew my viper spec t56 in my truck a few months ago. Truck makes about 575/675 by my guess. I asked a few forums and people and now im posting here.

For those who RACE their manual trans full size trucks at the track(meaning launching hard), who built yours?

So for it looks like i'm going with Tick Performance in Texas.

and going back to a boring auto isnt an option. Ill sell this truck before that happens.

Only input is I understand the Tremec TR 6060 is the one to go with. Isn't that stronger than the Viper spec T56?

It's a better trans but even the t56 magnum which is basically a tr6060 wont hold the power long enough. The trans will have to be built by a shop. It's the weigh of the vehicle. If it were a 3200lb car or something it wouldnt be as big of an issue.
