Out of curiousity...since I am building a 461 stroker that will make close to 550 hp...what automatic overdrive transmission can take the abuse of that much power??

Originally had a rebuilt turbo 400, but decided to sell it because I'd rather have the od built in. Got my money back in full from what I paid for it. The turbo 400 is great but here in Cali I just couldn't live with it and my 3.55 gears out back.

I also thought about the gear vendors unit, but for that price I'd rather just get a 4 speed od.

Any thoughts? Some say they can built 700r4's to handle up to 700 hp but I've heard the 700r4 doesn't hold a candle to the 400 in most respects? 4L60E, 4L80???

Will be running electronic EFI so it almost makes sense to be running a computer-controlled one. But I've looked into some places like bowtie overdrives, and they have a 700r4 that can handle my power.

Thanks,
Bryan
