If someone models the case I can do some FEA. I have too many of my own things to pull it all off.
That being said, there are some good free tools that anyone can use to get things done.

A man has got to know his limitations.....
Practiced welding on a previous case... I'll post a pic later. Let's just say a LOT of stuff creeped out and it was very difficult to get the puddle to stick to anything even filler rod.
I need a better way to clean, maybe bake in oven (thanks for the idea DJ) but until I figure out the more clean and get more practice and more time.... I'm going to throw this one together without added bracing and launch like grandma again this year...

I know the case I tried to weld turned out like absolute junk. Too embarrassed to post any pics. My dad thinks if we were to get the case hot tanked, it would weld up better. I will use my busted in two piece case to practice on, with the hopes I can still salvage the other case which just had minor cracks around the upper mounting flange.

Hmm, I'll keep that in mind, thanks!
Some pics of practice welding. It really did not want to take it with many adjustments to the settings. Crap just kept coming out of the pores
So, I guess I'll be nice as possible to this one. Some pics of the intended bracing which never happened
And some pics of the new bullet, ready for action.. I hope

Ha! Love the serial number tag! At first I thought it was just a tag that you had made, but a closer look reveals it's the (or an) original.

If it ain't broke, fix it 'till it is!
My fingers are crossed for you, JT. Without jinxing you, it seems like your engine is rock-steady reliable. I'm really hoping to see your drivetrain hold what the engine can deliver.

That's actually the tag from the last trans a few pages back from about a year ago. Was easier to transfer than to make another, LOL. But for archival reasons I did take a picture of this trans' tag
Miller Syncrowave 200 TIG. I think it needs to be cooked to clean it out, but might try Shmedley's stuff mentioned above first just to see.
Thanks Mike, I hope it's not a jinx either, LOL! Honestly due to traction I haven't really turned it up yet, still around 29psi, so that probably helps too. I *hope* I can grandma it into living a season like last one did thru SDAC, Mopar Nats, Drag Week and a couple more track days in between. Thinking back, last trip out last fall, I did try the 2-step on lower boost launch and that alone might be the culprit.

Traction, power and a heavy car is the reason you are murdering these transmissions.... Not being negative here, been following this thread and hope you find a solution! Good luck.

I wish! My Syncrowave 250 (1993 vintage) has a clean/penetration setting plus arc control and I tried many iterations. it was just too dirty... next step baking I think

I was using a very old but mint Econotig 150A. My dad bought it when I graduated HS in 93 I managed to digitize the instructional VHS that came with it, if anyone is interested. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ou9LwwnJhnI
