Tranny should handle it as long as your syncros are in decnt shape, but you never no. I have heard of people making over 500whp on a stock gear'd syncro'd transmissions and then some people blow them at 200whp. Its a lot to do with the driver and how you treat your car.

If it was me, i would invest in some carbon coated syncros and be gentle.

GL with your setup
