I think manufacturers rate their trannies conservatively because they plan for it to last under abuse and for a long long long time. For example, a T56 tranny that comes on the Camaro is rated to withstand 450lbs of TQ and the company even have a TQ management limiter on it on anything beyond 350TQ, but im pushing close to 750TQ on it with no problems now (ECU flashed to eliminate TQ management). I only changed the clutch to make it work. Im not saying I want to push the 335 or 535 that far... I was looking more at a 350-400rwhp 400-450rwtq daily driver that is fun to drive and can haul the family in safety and comfort.
