no way that tranny can take only 330..
in japan the lancer CVTs started to blow around 350whp only after being hammered constantly..so if a CVT can take 350whp i fail to believe that the SST can take 330tq..

TTP dyno work has the trans slipping at about 265 ft/lbs. Protection kicks in and that is it. The trans is a big limiting factor. Look at their dyno sheet. The Torque numbers were going straight up and then a HUGE dip once the trans did not allow more. There is not going to be much modding room at all because of that. They got an additional 25hp and torque with the Zchip. That is all the trans could take.

Here are the definitions.

A continuously variable transmission (CVT) is a transmission which can change steplessly through an infinite number of effective gear ratios between maximum and minimum values. This contrasts with other mechanical transmissions that only allow a few different distinct gear ratios to be selected. The flexibility of a CVT allows the driving shaft to maintain a constant angular velocity over a range of output velocities. This can provide better fuel economy than other transmissions by enabling the engine to run at its most efficient revolutions per minute (RPM) for a range of vehicle speeds.
Twin Clutch SST:
MMC's new automated manual transmission employs dual clutches to realize power transmission efficiencies on a par with a normal manual gearbox while also allowing slick and swift shifting. Allowing drivers of all abilities to shift rapidly up and down through the gears, Twin Clutch SST delivers satisfying acceleration while also returning superior fuel mileage thanks to its
high-efficiency power transmission mechanism. The new transmission also features three operating modes tailored to different situations: from around-town drivability to instant-response and follow-the-line sporty motoring on the open road.
Twin Clutch SST (Sport Shift Transmission)
The mechanism
Twin Clutch SST puts odd (1st, 3rd, 5th) and even (2nd, 4th and 6th) gears on separate input shafts, each connected to an individual clutch. With both clutches under precise system control, this arrangement allows lightening-fast, Mitsubishi Twin Clutch SST automated manual transmission
smooth and lag-free gear changes with no interruption in power delivery. Using clutches instead of a torque converter to transmit power makes the Twin Clutch SST simpler in structure and reduces power transmission losses for higher transmission efficiency that leads to improved fuel mileage.
Drive modes
Twin Clutch SST allows the driver to switch between three shifting programs — Normal, Sport and S-Sport — to cover the full range of driving situations, from town use to sporty motoring on open roads.
Normal mode
For use around town and other normal driving situations, Normal mode scheduling uses relatively low-speed shift points to deliver unobtrusive shifting for maximum comfort together with optimum fuel economy.
Sport mode
For use when driving in the mountains or when engine braking is required, Sport mode scheduling uses higher shift points and quicker shifting to deliver instant throttle response that instills in the driver a closer man/machine relationship. S-Sport mode
Compared with Sport mode, S-Sport mode scheduling keeps the engine turning at higher revs while allowing lightening-fast shifting.
