Can a C4 Transmission with a good rebuild, good quality race clutches, and a hardened input shaft handle close to 500 horsepower?

Please let me know thanks.

The place to ask that question would proabably be here, as the guys over there know alot about transmissions.

i wasn't spouting nonsence, Jay at Broader who deals with them on a day to day basis might be able to give some advice, that is all

and i never said anything about any of you not knowing anything about transmissions.

But whatever...

I was going to answer, but I realized that since my motor made closer to 600 hp than 500, I wasn't qualified to give an accurate answer.
