Default how much hp with stock converter

i am wondering how much power they will take. my 4l60e just went out and i am building a new one and was thinking about getting a tb converter. but dont know if it will take the beating i will give it. and i dont have a lot of cash to spend.

I would spend the money for a real converter instead of a converter meant for a inline 6 cylinder in stock form....
