How much can a rebuilt 700R4 handle?
I'm not talking about change the input shaft to a hardend one, I mean just a regular shelf rebuild kit. I am planning on making about 400-420hp and 450-460 ft/lbs of torque. The tranny I have now is slipping and the stall is really weak.
Will a rebuilt tranny hold on to that much power?

i've had a guy rebuild mine for $1000 which was for parts and R&R. He put new bands, corvette servo, etc.. and i have a 3500 stall. my 383 puts out about 500HP/TQ and havent had any problems. i've got the B&M megashifter and it snaps in every gear.

Thanks man.
One more question. Are you able to change the ratios in the 700R4?

I am running about 335 flywheel horsepower and about 380 ft/lbs of torque through a near stock rebuild (in my garage) of a 1992 van 4L60(same thing as a 700r4 just called a 4L60(non E) in 1992. It is in a Chevy Van that I have beat on for 15,000 miles with no problems yet. The only thing special in it is the Vette 2-4 Servo, Vette TV boost valve, Transgo Corrective shift kit, and modified the governor for 5,500 rpm upshifts with a B&M kit. Oh and I have a 2,000 rpm lockup converter meant for a 4.3 S10 (Actually stalls @ 2,500 rpm in the van). All I have to do is mash the pedal and let the transmission do the work.
Has survived my heavy foot, track and dyno abuse, towing my 5,500# boat, numerous cars, climbed Ratan pass with my foot on the floor pulling something a couple of times. It still chirps the tires (P255-70-R15s with 3.08 posi) on every WOT 1-2 shift. Hasn't even warmed the fluid up enough to turn it gray.
