I've seen posts with people running 11's on slicks with the stock T-5 for extended lengths of time.
Does that mean it's a good high torque/hp application tranny? I don't think I'd recommend it for that kind of application.
Bottom line is the T-5 is stronger than what it gets credit for, the 3550 isn't as good as what it gets credit for (plus I have NEVER EVER seen a case where Tremec backed their 3550 product up when it broke without being dragged kicking and screaming), so why not go with a tranny that you've never heard anything bad about?
