astro performance makes a few kits to handle A LOT more power than stock

from what iver heard the T45 is a better platform than the 3650 for higher hp applications

the only thing i dont like is that you cant change the 5th gear ratios on a T45 like on a T5...

id LOVE to swap in a T5 with a 2.95 1st gear and a .79 5th and go tear up some road courses...

IM sayin turbo and auto are like peanut butter n jelly they go together. A 800whp turbo manual car is going to get bet by a 800whp auto.

Call american powertrain or theres a few.others that build t56

1,000 hp and T45. No way in hell. I blew my upgraded T45 with a mere 330. Best bet for a T45 is a 26 spline input and a Promotion HD rebuild kit. Might make it handle 550 regularly. If your sole concern is a 5 speed for that much power get a faceplated TKO600.
