The 4T45E transmission is stout enough for most people who are aiming for performance and nothing out of control like. Only thing I'd do is get a transmission cooler if you're making a dramatic power change. Might also want to look into getting a torque converter made but I'd do more research on that department.

Do you have a 2.2 (L61) or 2.4 (LE5) motor?

Heres some info from a GM tech site

Hydra-Matic 4T40E/4T45E

Type: four-speed front-wheel-drive, electronically controlled, automatic overdrive transaxle with electronically controlled torque converter clutch.

Engine Range: 2.2L-3.5L
Max Gearbox Torque: 325 lb.-ft.

Weight: 188 lbs.

Assembly Site: Windsor, Ontario

Applications: Chevrolet: Cobalt, Malibu, Pontiac: G5, G6, Saturn

And for the 5spd

Getrag F23

Type: transverse front wheel drive, five-speed manual transaxle.

Engine Range: 2.2L-2.4L
Max Gearbox Torque: 170 lb.-ft.

Weight: 102 lbs.

Applications: Chevrolet Cobalt, HHR; Pontiac G5

It seems by the info on this site, the tranny is good for 325ft/lb, so I would think it would handle some decent performance going through it, although the 5spd on the other hand seems to be maxed out lready from factory on what it can handle, lucky for us auto guys I guess.
