A855 - 5 Speed

This may be a bit off topic but I have often wondered about torque ratings on transmissions. The BW T-10 with the deeper first gear ratios struggle to be rated at over 300 lb-ft. But yet they were installed behind engines rated at higher torques than that. Now before someone calls out that the T-10 couldn't handle the Max Wedge engines leading to the A-833 transmission, they would be right. But there you are talking around 500 lb-ft in a competition environment. So for street use....still don't know. There has to be a factor that was applied to the engine torque to size the transmission for street use but what it was? I've never seen a number.
