I think a lot of it depends on how you use your car. Do you race every weekend? If you don't beat the crap out of it, it should handle over 400rwhp without any big hassles. Make sure you run a tranny cooler though.

i think it is rated by torque instead of horsepower. it is the force or pressure that taxes the tranny not the speed of aceleration. The torque rating is around 650 lbs of torque.
Stock motor has a converter that flashes at around 1500 rpm with a torque multiplier of around 1.9 from the converter. Then the converter locks up and the ratio is 1:1
