s197 auto tranny?

[Nemesis]

How much hp/torque can a s197 auto tranny hold up to? would it be fine with about 450hp?

i saw it some where & it says 400 is pushing it.. u need 2 beef it up . bro.. get a torque convertor.. its like 949 dolla. but its worth it ..

550+ before you want to look into getting forged internals.....

450 your fine on the 5R55S, it'll last a good long time unless you get a high stall and you race the balls out of it

I have been giving it hell without a power adder or high stall converter and it is doing ok, Fluid looks fine but next year I expect to have fluid changed and beat the hell out of it yet again. 500 hp is ok so far as I have heard.
Just keep an eye on it.

If your gonna upgrade, consider the 4R70W. Nasty trans and stands up to a ton of abuse.

How about HotrodHarry's car? He has the stock auto tranny in his car, & still retains the stock torque converter, and run's 10s. Though, his car is not abused on the street, and is low miled....I suppose driving it sparingly helps with that?
