Great thanks everyone for info !

Yeah, I already have some torque steer and traction issues sometimes at my power levels. I think if I were to add more power, driveability wouldn't be quite as good.

That's something that many people don't realize when trying to add power to their car. If you add so much that you can barely get traction, then what's the point. It can make the car unpredictable and more dangerous to drive. That's just my opinion though, I've always valued driveability over power numbers.

You guys may also want to look at torque numbers when trying to figure out what the AT tranny can hold.
