A th350 done right can handle a good amount of power. I'm in the same boat as u. Ill be doing a th350 in my t/a. My builder builts alot of th350 for alot of local guys and never has problems with them. He runs a th350 in his 900+nova with a 300 shot out the hole.
Don't worry about breaking it if it's done right!
