I don't doubt it. I was over at Scott Cook'* place for a bit on Saturday and he was rebuilding his "bulletproof" tranny because his engine was creating to much stress on it. It was kind of neat to see the turbo GP in pieces all over his garage...

i remember hearing that the series 2 engine was designed from the factory for 7,000 RPM and the reason for the 6,000 RPM redline is the tranny not being able to take 7k RPM shift speeds

That is the stock L67 short block with stock pistons as far as I know. It has ported and polished heads and IIRC a ZZP XP Cam with the appropriate valvetrain mods to support it. It runs a 2.6" Supercharger Pulley and 31 degrees of ignition timing. It obviously has headers and things like that. Because of the ported and polished heads and the large cam I believe it shifts at 6600 or 6700rpms, which is actually fairly low seeing that the BADSSEi shifts at like 7200rpm, and our stock cam GTP shifts at 6200rpm. 6000rpm shifts are actually low shifts since that is the factory redline. It doesn't take much to make the L67 handle 7,000rpms easily.
