I have talked with 2 companies that make a heavy duty trany (41TE) for our car as well as have parts available.

1. Import Performance Trans http://www.importperformancetrans.com/

This is an e mail response I recieved from them aftr my inquiry:
Hi,

We have a lot of upgrades available for the 41TE including performance
torque converters, valve body modifications, strengthened hard parts,
limited slip differentials, different gearing, and the means to
increase the
transmissions torque capacity through the addition of additional
clutches,
etc.

The best bet may be to contact us by phone for a more detailed
explanation
of our upgrades. The shop phone number is 973 827 9946.

Regards, John

They used to have 3 different options posted on their website but are now concentrating more on RWD. They do however still have them avail.

Price range $1500-$1900 with core.

Tommy please keep up updated on your progress as well as parts from your guy as well. I don't know how much my trans will hold as I will be upping the boost soon [?]

The only problems I have seen on the Manual trans was when someone used a MBC to bypass the boost limitation in 1st gear and wrung off an axle.

The torque is limited in fist gear for this reason.

Stage I lifted some of the restriction. DCX did this to keep the trans axle together.

Bob Stockum's site had some good specs for where clutch and torque converter failed to be adequate; interms of torque and HP.
