How much power can I expect to lose on the dyno??
My 88 camaro with a 383 stroker made a healthy 419HP and 430Ft. Lbs. to the rear wheels running through a WC T5. In a few weks here I will be switching over to a heavily built 700r4, and am fully aware that automatics have a higher percentage of power loss. What kind of numbers could I be expecting to see if I were to dyno the car again, but with an automatic?

Depends on the converter stall speed, depends how the tranny is built. If you want a guess, pick a number from the hat. If you want to know an exact number, put it back on the dyno.
