I know they are at there (or close too) maximum torque rating and thought that this would cause some damage quite quickly in the 5 speed if it is not up to the task.
I would love to look at doing this in the future but the gearbox may pose an issue.

If you up th output of the motor, then shorten the final drive ratio to 3.7 or 3.9 that will take up some of the extra stress on transmission, basicly reducing load on the output side of the auto, if you leave the 2.79 ratio in it would probably stress the auto a little, also the rating is probably a conservative rating and is probably 25 to 50% under what it can really handle
