Terminator Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 I am sure you can go higher than 500 with the stock converter, but then it depends what you do with it. If you do lots of power brake, drag strip starts, it wont last 5 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 Originally posted by 400BHP anyone know what sort of power the auto box will cope with? What you SHOULD be asking is what TORQUE the `box will handle. Gearboxes are rated in torque handling capacity, sometimes at a certain input shaft RPM. It's torque that kills transmissions rather than power. I can't answer your question save to say that if you get a recommended figure for this box in stock form it's usually safe to say they will take about 30% more torque without catastrophically shortening their life, but heat build up will need addressing, and any increase in torqu will by definition = a reduction in life of the transmission.
