Depends what you mean by 'big power'?

and do you mean tranny as in transmission (auto) or as a generic term, eg manual?

If manual a W55/7/8 will handle up to about 400hp comfortable unless you are abusing it (drags) but that will shit any box after a length of time. Anything more and you'd have to go with the bigger R154.

If you want auto, i'm not familiar with the boxes used, but the standard a340e (i think it is) will handle ~350 if you treat it nicely.
