With that much power, I'd go with a G Force 4 Speed. My buddy broke his M23 twice with a 700hp 496 and slicks and 4.56 gears, no clutch tamer.... My M23 has held up well at the track, but only has around 12 passes, I'm guessing my 496 has around 550hp. My M23 had to be repaired by Autogear twice under warranty because of quality control issues. If I was going to do this allover again, I probably would use something beefier.

Sounds like you cannot buy anything that is worth a chit anymore. Even when it's expensive

This might be coming down to, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" and just leave the TH400. OR, remove some of the bite from the beast so you aren't breaking manual transmissions ...
