Try an Advance Search, power levels have been hashed out ad-nauseum.

450lb-ft is stock, but 600 can be handled if not abused. Car weight will also affect it.

Typically the aftermarket upgrades can push it close to 700 and then the viper upgrade should be looked at beyond that.

The trans itself will easily take 600-650HP. Its the wearable components that you need to give your attention to, such as fork pads, synchro keys, blocker rings, and shift forks. If you beat on it with that kind of power, those components will need to be upgraded.
