Only thing stronger would be to convert it to a BE box that they mated to the XU engines and the larger peugeots such as the 306. Is it turbo'd?

Vtr box with an ATB diff would be ok for a while if driven with mechanical sympathy tbh. And the diff would make the car a LOT more drivable.

Depends on the torque really, and how well chosen and mapped the turbo is, there's quite a few race cars not far off that power but likely to be far less torque, and they do still need to service the boxes fairly regularly and have a very large degree of mechanical sympathy.

John (gmc) has the quaife on offer at the moment iirc. Give him a call. Around £550 from memory.
It is all about the torque tho as said. The physical casings twist and pull the gears apart on high load.
