it's not hp..it's more of torque being your concern.

what the tranny can actually hold is not the question.

the question is:

how much will the synchros, clutch, flywheel and gears, axles and LSD hold?

And i dont know from experience, but this is .02 cents below

stock 220 HP rated on tranny = ok
300 HP+ = new clutch needed...optional flywheel to something stronger
400 HP+ = new clutch, flywheel, and LSD
500 HP+ = new clutch, flywheel, LSD, axles
600 HP+ = new clutch, flywheel, LSD, axles, gear sets, so on

when making high horsepower, i would also recommend synchro mesh
maybe even a new clutch master cylinder
