My uncles built SVTL is on the dyno getting tuned it already put down 725 WHP. But we are curious how much power can the trans hold? it has a valve body moroso trans pan and a stall converter and thats it. Should we stop at 725 WHP the tuner wants to know if we want to keep going as there is more left in it. TIA

If you drive it normally you will buy some time with it.if your going to beat it up all the time then start to build it..

Been 3.4 built for 2 years making 700hp and have not had one issue to date with my stock trans. All I have is a converter and a VB.

Its gonna go eventually at that power level anyways so Id continue on tuning and get as much out of the combo as safely as possible.

Stock converter? That's the weak link, a valve body and super duty cooler along with a upgraded stall will make it MUCH more reliable.
