It's not the power that kills the AT, its the Torque. Supposedly the 7AT can safely handle up to 400ft-lbs. After that its area.

The block can't take much more than 400-450 ft/lbs torque anyways without risking it blowing up anyways.

Exactly. A lot of work needs to be done to beef up certain areas for bigger power.

Ofcourse driver skill is always a factor. In then end it's up to the owner to decide what the best direction for the car is. I was just making a broad generalization based on other threads on the forums (the infamous at vs. mt nonsense) GL with your decision OP, definitely do some exhaustive research before making a leap like this.
