Default 700R4 What is to much? HP/TQ

My tranny shop called and the stator(?) rod/shaft at the pump failed/broke. This in return burn up the transmission. It seem that my old TPI motor couldn't put out this much HP or TQ to do that, could it. How much can a 700R4 take? And yes I was juicing it, but not at the bottom end.

depends on what year it is, if the tranny is stock and pre 87 anything from about 300lbs.ft and up can kill it easily.

I don't know what those are rated at, maybe less than the vett trans. Did you have WOT in 4th or not? I think all non vette trannies didn't allow for WOT in 4th stock.

A stock 700 is pretty week, 300 hp or so.
They can be made to survive at 750+ if done by the right people...
