4 speed auto strength?

Some of you may know, some of you wont but i am currently in the early (very early) stage of turbo-ing the fairmont.

Ok i have sorted all the prices out with the engine side of things but i am curious as to how far i will need to go at strengthening the 4spd auto.

I have been told that the gearbox in the AU's is rather strong and can handle a lot of power, but im not too sure how much. We have worked out that with the setup we are aiming for it will get around 350rwkw on 12ish psi. I know that with this sort of power i will last maybe one launch and then have to pick up peices of the box for the past quatre mile..

I have seen a few AU's with a lot of power with the stock box and have no problems, just not sure how long they will last..

Just curious as to how nuts i will have to go from other people experiences to handle this much power?
