Rated torque capacity is just a guideline on what the OEMs can guarantee... You can usually push them to 150% capacity for a time on the track, or 300% for a weekend warrior that doesn't see a lot of abuse.

I took a transmission rated at 150tq and pushed 440tq through it for a few months before it grenaded. But it took to 350tq for years without issues. I'm sure 300wtq will do just fine for most. Keep a sprung clutch, and good gear oil. Should do just fine.
