Default Automatic Transmission that will hold Turbo?

I'm looking for someone that can build an automatic transmission that will hold power about 400-500fwhp on a B18. I tried doing a search but nothing came up. Anyone have any ideas?

You must swap to a standard at those levels. IIRC there was some mention of a GM automatic tranny, but that's a VERY expensive setup and totally geared towards drag racers, not a street car. Are you afraid to drive a stick or what?

Why not a honda auto? Has anyone besides level ten tried to build one. I have done some research on the idea. The honda AT in a b-series motor is a lot like a straight shift. It just uses clutch packs instead of sliders and shift forks. What tears up on a AT trans? Does it slip? Is the converter the issue?

This shop built the automatic transmission on my Camry V6 to hold 357+ WHP. Now it is holding much more power than that with the new turbo and built motor.
They specialize in all imports, from Hondas, Nissans, Toyotas, even DSM's. It will be expensive though, and certainly won't be an easy upgrade.

I had a Level10 before this and that crap blew up in one pull.
