Default How much HP is Too Much for Stock Trans?

Lately Ive been seeing some Crazy Integras/Civics with 400-500hp and was wondering how much is too much power for the stock tranny? Is there an aftermarket company that builds better Trans components or full trannys for The Integras/Civics?

How long will a stock tranny last with such a powerful motor and what would you have to do to make sure the tranny doesnt take a nose dive?

Thanks Guys!

Yeah I already know that, but my question was pertaining to the Transmission.

I have a whole bunch of buddies that have some old school cars, stangs, cameros, Cuda...etc. and they always bust their tranny.

Can our trannys last longer simply because we dont have that much torque going through them from the get go like the big V8's?

Hard to say, I have blown 2 trannys and not an axle yet. There are ways to make the tranny stronger, or you can go buy an Quaife Dog Engagment Tranny for like 20K with the extra's.

Quaife and some carbon syncors, maybe a new oem final drive and should be good for along time.
