cheers
Can you tell us what is happening to the box? Is it a stripped gear, or is it worn synchro's (crunchy gear changes)?

IIRC John Bradshaw ran a stock box for quite some drag events without managing to break it. His car was running well over 600bhp, and used drag slicks/ prepped track, so I too would be surprised if road tyres/tarmac would give enough grip to damage the gears.
