it should handle it. That's what GM put behind their 350's.

What year is your car? Is it an 8 or a 6?
The six cylinder 700r4 won't work with a v8.
If you have a v8 now, I wouldn't worry, it should hold it fine.

Where is the proof that a stock 700r4 can handle up to 350hp? Just wondering. Thanks

Are you sure its not the 250hp engine? I hear those eat up 700R4s.....if its only rated at 249 hp you should be ok though- maybe....
