Default I am by no means an expert,

but I think I heard someone say a stock tranny (in good condition) would take up to 320-340 hp. Then it starts slipping like crazy. If you're going to turbo, you might as well figure in $$$ to upgrade the tranny, figure about $3-$4k loose figures.

Default 350 is the magic number

350hp is the max you can go on this trans. It is built pretty tuff though. 10 Quality rebuilds them for more power if neccessary.
