Rough ideas on drivetrain power capacities

Aisin's automatics aren't known for being very stout or tolerating a lot more torque than they're rated to hold. It would not surprise me at all if the OEM gearbox doesn't like more torque than stock for very long. They're definitely not a Getrag 233.

The Getrag 233 is also known as the Toyota V-160 or V-161. It came in the Supra. It's not an option for the 2IS. It's the only Toyota gearbox capable of handling more than twice the rated torque without immediate failure.
There may or may not be easy fixes. Supra's automatics were known for sprague clutch failures at elevated power levels. If the AA80 is a similar design, there may not be an economically viable fix.

Peak hp numbers don't tell the whole story. I'll take area under the curve over big peak numbers any day.

i agree that they can't take much more than stock but aisin auto's seem to be built very tough and last quite a while. Cherokee's use them and I have seen those with over 400k and all the other Lexus/Toyota vehicles that use them, seem to work great with higher miles, but yes it is no v160.

The skinny lines are after the manifold "upgrade".... if i would have left it stock with nitrous on i would be making 500+ ft lbs ... but im at 450 because of porting. Its not worth the fortune it cost at all. I am the only person who has performed real and honest dyno testing of this manifold. It will cost you over 2k all said and done, not worth it at all.
With nitrous

Its your car but I would not send them parts to your car. I regret porting my manifold. Although there are some low end gains it acutaly hurts top end a bit and if you add nitrous there are serious tq losses from a stock manifold...
