Default "stock"tranny on nitro

I need to know what kind of power my stock tranny can take
before i hit the ZEX switch (75 shot). I may have the
money to make it stronger but not to buy a full tranny that can handle 275hp.(i have internals from 4cyl turbo, will that help?)
Any info is more than i have now.
Thanx

Auto or 5-spd? If it is a 5-spd. you will need the internals from a Turbo II or III to handle it. The Turbo II tranny is the A-555, I'm not sure what tranny is behind the Turbo III's.

Yes, its the 5-spd. Turbo III?? Where can i find that sucker.
Would a junkyard have one. Or is it a hard thing to find...(buy new?)
Is there a site where i can get parts, or should i get a II-III tranny and use all that i can.

A turbo II tranny is hard to find, but their out there. The Turbo III's will be next to impossible to find anywhere. You can call around to junkyards to see if they have Daytona's, Lebaron's, Spirit's or Shadow, these are the ones that have the Turbo II's & Turbo III's. The A-555 is the one that your likely to possibly come across. The A-525 is very abundant and is too weak to for your needs.
