Default How much can it handle?

Hi there all, I've had the delightful experience of my trans die on me. So I had a local trans shop rebuild it for me had some upgrades done and in there lies my problem. the shop won't tell me how much power the trans will hold up for. they claim liability issues if they give me a number blah blah blah. so I'm hoping yall can give me an rough idea of what I can build up to without experienceing another LARGE trans rebuilt bill.
I will likely be bumping timing to 16°
Thanks

I'd say right around 500 whp, mainly due to that beefy converter.

ya maybe around 500 for a bit if your not beating it. if you plan to be hard on it it will break likely with 500.

Not even close to 500. If you drive it like you love it, you can probably drive it forever but if you beat that trans with even the mods you have, you're gonna break it.
