Default Is it safe to run alot of power to an 07 GT Automatic Transmission?

I have a 2007 GT and I have a whipple supercharger (non-intercooled) on my motor. I was woundering if I upgraded to the intercooler if it would be safe or not. I have a 3.875 pully on the supercharger now. Stock Automatic Transmission

The stock engine and drive line is supposedly good for about 450 RWHP.

I've rarely heard of a throttle body adding any HP at this level even though no doubt you'll hear testimonials from people who have dropped coin on one themselves saying otherwise. It's only something you do when you're running out of flow on a stock body, which you aren't.

There's a couple of upgrades you can make for strengthening the trans, including upgrading the input shaft and the two servos. Parts (from TCI) are around $350.

Thank you for all the help. I'm about to put Prosport gauges in the car right now. When I bought it the person before me didn't have any put in. The real reason why I was asking about how much power I can run is. I want to buy the Steeda Belt Drive Kit for my car and I didn't want to hurt the car by putting something on it that would kill the drivetain.
