I thought that the case cannot handle the torque and it busts -- I would like to hear from someone who has first hand knowledge.....

Well, I can't say that I have been running the car at the drag strip on slicks, but so far it has put up with some pretty thorough beatings at 750'lbs of torque! I don't think putting power through it is as hard as some guys were on them road racing with constant accel/decel. I do have a healthy spare trans...so I'm willing to find out!
