puddleglum, going by this conversion I wouldn't worry about over torquing the Aveo transmission. This one handles a 9" with 1000 amps, and that's some serious torque, in the range of 300-400 ft-lbs. Keep in mind that this much torque from an electric motor is much smoother of a delivery than from an ICE.

That's still a lot, though.....
