Stolen from here ---------------> http://www.becontrols.com/ourfaqs/ao...1.htm#12215240

The AODE/4R70W in stock form can typically handle about 25 to 50 horsepower above stock power levels. Before planning many engine mods to an AODE/4R70W equipped vehicle, you should install our AODE Valve Body Kit. Installation of the Valve Body kit will allow 1997 and earlier AODE/4R70W transmissions to perform reliably in a 350 to 375 horspower application. 1998 and later 4R70Ws can handle up to 500 horsepower with just the addition of the Valve Body kit.

That seems like the company tryin to sell their part. I can't see Ford put a tranny in the mustang that can only handle 50 HP at most. I figured Ford would have put a more durable tranny in their MUSTANG lol its not a focus...no offense to the focus...I have one too lol

I agree, do a google search there are a bunch of differing opinions.
