    Default how much power can stock 535 drivetrain hold?

    im looking at doing a fair bit of engine work but need to know how much i can increase the power on my stock autobox? im already planning on M5 brakes and LSD but i dont wanna fork out on a new tranny right now as i want to do a manual conversion at a later date.

    More power than a "fair bit of work" can provide.
