The later year 9000 transmissions are fairly sturdy if treated right. There are people running stock transmissions with around 400 hp and no problems and there are people who repeatedly blow up transmissions with stock power...
The main enemy of these transmissions is shock loads, like wheel spin and wheel hop. Fitting a limited slip diff. goes a long way to protect the transmission from that. I know of at least one swedish 500 hp 9000 that goes regularly to drag racing using a stock gear set with LSD.
There are also complete quaife gear sets available for the 9000. Both straight cut and regular. Like this race gear set: http://www.racestuff.se/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=5_51&products_id=453
or for the street: http://www.maptun.com/shopProduct.php?pid=2945&hl=197&cg=688
