Default Can someone explain what can be changed in AT and MT?

Hello again everyone! I have a question out of curiosity....

I know that people use manual cars as a race car because of the ability to be able to change the clutch. I heard that once you change a clutch to a higher quality one, you can handle much more horsepower without worrying about the clutch being "broken" (sorry i dont know the correct term). However, i heard that the automatic transmission does not have a clutch, but instead a torque converter. Is there anything you can change in an automatic transmission (something similar to a clutch) to allow for more horsepower?

Thank you!

-Francis
