The horsepower I am looking at is 300-340 whp. Will the stock tranny stand up to this kind of horsepower? Do you need a new brake rotor as well? Can someone please advice me on this one?
You will want to have your input shaft and some of the gears (3rd for sure) shot peened and cyro treated.

Suspension and brake upgrades are certainly advisable.
