If it is a stock rebuild it will not handle anywhere near that. Go billet!!! A good rebuild with reprogrammed valve body and billet converter will even be pushed with 500 real HP. If you truly want to build that much power you need a fully built trans with a billet input most likely and you still may break it if you are going to really use all 500hp.

500 { horsepower will definetly need a billet coverter i had 500 on a stock input shaft but would recommend putting one in they are expensive but worth the money also you need the trans beefed up so those are a few things to do
