Default 4L80e hp rating

I was just wondering how much hp a stock 4l80e should hold? I geuss Im wondering if I should start saving my money for a build tranny. I was also wondering if I dont use a stall convertor does that mean its easier on my tranny?

I think the 80 can handle quite a bit. Im thinking about 600 hp, but I'm not sure why that number is sticking in my head. Also, the converter is probably helping your trannys go out sooner. My builder seems to think my stall is why I burnt up my last tranny. 4wd's aren't made to have a converter stall that high is pretty much what I was told. Oh well, they weren't designed to run 13 eigther

He might be the wrong one to ask his 80e is over 1000hp now.

I think 600rwhp is a reasonable number!! I remember Parish only had a shift kit when he was around 600rwhp.
