Although he was warned a fellow drag racer bought a mad dog trans (<--
) and stabbed it behind a turbo V6 making just over 640 ftlbs of tq in a 3400lb AWD vehicle....the trans scattered on the second pass. In the end the only thing "mad" was the purchaser
There are quite a few builders out there that I would trust before just about anything off of ebay and no matter who builds it I would question the long term durability of a 60E/700 that will see track duty in an application over 500hp. Baby it or show it minimal abuse and it'll live for a while but if you start feeding it 700hp regularly it'll scatter.
My recomendation is a 4L80E 4sp OD trans.
GMC Syclone (currently wrecked thanks to the typical rubber headed VA driver not paying attention to his red stop light...oh and he didnt have insurance either)
