But the W58 usually fails around the 400-450rwhp level. YMMV

If you wanted to keep it auto what trans would keep up with bpu power? A sc300 trans with an aftermarket tc wouldn't hold up or would you have to change ta a supra trans?

If you were to keep the car an automatic gte bpu the tt auto tranny will hold the power.
