Dont have much experience with auto trans, but they can take some good power. Of course, high miles on it doesn't help much and/or lots of abuse already. First on my list would be a good external trans oil cooler. I do know they make upgraded clutch pack kits, but i'm forgetting at the moment who rebuilds the autos...pretty sure TRE does not, and not sure if Shep does...

IPT, I believe is the auto trans guys, maybe John could chime in, he's been 11's with his old awd auto 1g, that I now own as a manual. He must have done something right.

Yea I used an IPT kit and translab shift kit along with a 3000 convertor in my old auto. A little pricey, but it held back the power for a while, probably would have lasted longer if I could have found somebody around here that knew how to put them together properly, IIRC they do complete trannys, but there were near 3k.
I say screw it you wanna make good power and go fast 5 speed swap that bitch with a TRE. That was the route I eventallu went after 2 grand in auto builds
