    What horsepower does it have to survive?

    For maximum effort your going to want the 4T60/65E
    For a stock or mildly modified engine I would choose the 4T40E since it is more reliable.

      4T65E with the 3.69 final drive. the 125C is a good tranny with the shift improver kit.

        I am hoping to build up my motor to 200 hp / 200 ft.lbs. torque. and I am wanting to do a little autocross, occasionally.

          the 125 will hold that just fine with that shift kit. it's a tough tranny. however, if you have the time and money for a 65E swap with gears, that'd be the way to go.
