Just curious, what are you planning that would require a stronger transmission?
The ratios shouldnt be a problem as people have been swapping to SS gears on their V6 anyway.

Essentially I'd like to turbo the car early next year but I have absolutely no faith in this transmission. It grinds and I dont think it can handle any WHP beyond stock.

The tranny is the weak point on the v6 manual.

Bone stock car, grinds if I shift quick enough. If you check the thread in this section you will see that anyone that can shift fast has the same problem.
