I'd go all out with a whole new transmission. PATC or Dr. Evil would be the best bet...

300rw, you want to upgraded the tc & trans internals if you want to play with that power
Also add a deep pan(with temp gauge) & extra cooler

Personally I wouldnt buy from Dr. Evil, dont believe in purchasing from a company thats keeping whats put into the trans a secret.

You want the one at the top of the link
