Gen 1 MCS gearbox strong enough?

I have been reading that the JCW gearbox is stronger than the standard MCS one and therefore better able to take the torque/power of a tuned engine.
Is this true?
If so, what you reckon is the maximum power a standard MCS 6 speeder should be subjected too...
Cheers
