Transmission limitations?

I have searched the internet high and low, yet still can not find a strait answer. What is the torque limit of my stock transmission? 2001 E55. I am doing research now for a winter build, and am trying to figure out if I need to save a little more up to modify the trans.
I am planning a single front mount turbo, my goal is to get around 500hp and 550 torque at the wheels. A little more will be ok tho lol. I know some of the kleemann cars get close to this, are they running stock transmissions or modified?
