the ribcases are "stronger" simply because they were built to handle more torque. they can take more abuse. however, there are plenty of N/A units living behind high horsepower/high torque engines and they hold up for years! however, if they are abused they don't seem to fare nearly as well. that's why i said it will depend on how you plan to use it.

for the Rx-8 tranny, i know that a lot of guys run the stock tranny in their turbocharged 8s, but i honestly have not paid any attention to if they were blowing them up, and if so, how often. so i really don't know. what i will say about them is this (and this is just my opinion), it's probably not worth it based on the ratios alone and definitely not without the Rx-8's rear end (or similar final drive).
