Default T-5 Upgrade Kit???

OK I could of swore that I read or seen it somewhere, but is there a T-5 upgrade kit that allows the T-5 to last longer with stronger gears and bearings, kinda like forged internals are for the engine. Reason I'm asking is I'm about to put on a 100 hp shot of nos to the car along with some other goodies and I want to upgrade the tranny, more than just the Spec Stage 1 clutch I jsut recieved so that I don't have to worry about the T-5 going out as I've been told they suck at taking hp. I found one on ebay, but I've always been leary of ebay stuff, I was just wondering if anybody knew of a site where I can get one. I'm however not looking for a T-5 overhaul or rebuild kit, but an upgrade kit.

Also, how much rwhp can the stock T-5 handle before it starts to have issues, because I'm about to be pushing 300 or so rwhp and was wondering if I really need this upgrade.
