a friend of mine ran 412rwhp from a kenne bell through his 4R70W for 2 years and it hasnt blown up yet... not sure on the max they can handle though, but somehow 500 hp seems to be clicking in my head?

I heard HEARD the 4R70W are pretty stout, what power levels are you looking for?

thats a good tranny if you take care of it and dont beat it tooo hard. I dont see why 450 or 500 at the wheels would be out of the question

However, at those power levels i think it might be on borrowed time, especially if you like to drive like me

im just looking to put a couple more thing on my car. After that ill be around 410-415 to the wheels so i was just making sure that it will hold up. I dont drive stupid that much. I go out on some weekends and to the track sometimes so i hope it will be ok.

You shouldnt have any problems with it with 410-15, i know a few people with well over 500 and theres seems to be holding up to the abuse just fine. Also you should look into a transgo shift kit, it will decrease gear overlap while increasing the life of your transmission. Your shifts will also have alot more bite!!!
