How much HP/TQ can 700R4 handle?

Exactly what the subject line says. Also, does anyone know how much horsepower the stock 350 TPI crankshaft can handle? Thanks in advance...

The 700R4 can handle stock engines to approximately 350 horsepower and pounds-feet of torque. The stock bottom end of a 350 in good condition should be good for 400 or so horsepower. Good Luck!

With the right torque converter & transmission modifications the 700R4 can handle 525-550 horsepower and live for quite awhile.
