Default Tranny worries with big boost

Ok, heres the deal.... Im thinking of boosting my I4 from 150 hp to almost if not 300. The thing is I dont know if im going to have to do any major tranny beefing. Its an auto and I don't have a clue where to start If I do. Anyone else boost a 6th gen that knows?

your tranny will max out with 200-250 whp.
tranny cooler, better torque converter, but it prolly would last long if you running 300whp daily.

So do you know where I can get a better torque converter and an upgrade kit for it?

I've seen a lot of the Gen6 trannies being shyt from the factory. I'd upgrade that before anything. Level Ten and tranny cooler.
