I also already answered the 7at capacity question. 400-420ftlbs peak anything above that is borrowed time... even at this level its borrowed time.

Well TG kit says around 450whp which equates to 360 ish TQ (from what dyno logs I've searched around and found) so that's a little under the 400-420 TQ range, correct?

I'm not like most folks on here who say you need to have a bazillion dollars to boost....but your 7AT is the real problem. We haven't yet defined what is "safe" for that trans. It appears any boosted build on that stock 7AT is at risk of the trans failing and the options for built 7AT's appear both iffy and expensive. I know it's not the answer you wanted, but if you are on a budget then boosting an auto Z is going to require a significantly higher risk appetite than boosting in general (which carries its own share of risk already).

If you decide you want a boosted Z, find a cost effective way to exchange your car for a manual to boost or buy someone else's build that has a known good history (if such a thing even exists). Otherwise, it looks like a departure from the Z is in your future.

Sounds like a departure is soon to come as well.
