life span of the tranny is based on any number of factors most importantly is how you drive it. a few things you can do to prolong are: good oil (some like redline lightweight shockproof blue), don't accelerate hard when in a bumpy patch of road (tire lose and gain traction and shockload the tranny), add tranny oil cooler (many feel heat is a big part of breakdown), replace rear differential cover with thicker steel plate (can have tapped for tranny cooler - scanwest sells these). if you are going to rebuild a tranny, go with shotpeened and cryo treated gears for added durability.
i'm sure others will have additional thoughts, but if you drive the car like you want it to last, you should be able to keep the tranny somewhat happy, even with added HP.
