Transmissions are rated based on torque input, not horsepower.Oh, that isn't much overhead at all. I was being a little silly about the MT + 2.0T to poke V6 the purists. As a MT purist myself, it is sad that overhead is so low it isn't even a possibility. I've heard the excuse that you need a ZF to handle the higher power in modern high performance engines, but I thought that was in the 500hp range.
Wranglers have decent headroom to add power with FCAβs 850RE (369 lb-ft), but yes once you step up to ZFβs 8HP75 you get 553 lb-ft toque capacity
