AODE tranny and RWHP
Just to double check... an AODE tranny with a shift kit and tranny cooler should be able to hold 450 RWHP without any problems, correct? I can't remember but I thought they were rated to something like 450 - 500 RWHP. Just wanted to double check and get some opinions from people who may have actually run them before I make any drastic changes. I'm going to try to cap my HP at 450. That means I'm going to have to back off the bottle a bit.

I checked the other site linked above, but it didn't give HP info.

Dont listen to me though... I just know that AOD's are weak and always thought that AODE werent that much stronger since its almost the same tranny.

RE: AODE tranny and RWHP
i don't have the exact numbers....but i guarantee they weren't designed to hold that much power (really torque). that's not saying it won't work. launching is what will destroy it. they can handle more if you roll into it. hold on
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.
