Too much for the stock transmission and HG?
Is 420rwhp too much for the stock w58 transmission and the stock 1jzgte headgasket? At what HP are Arp studs recomended? I'm not quite sure if I'll be setting myself up for failure with this setup.

The w58 is certainly in the caution zone at 420whp, though mine has handled two years @410whp and is fine. I've upped that figure recently, now make 435whp. I don't push it at w.o.t. and peak rpm to hit that number on a regular basis. Be careful with it and don't abuse it.
I don't know the number on ARP studs, its $110 insurance policy. My engine was apart for the valve stem seals so it was the right time to do it.
