How long will it hold?

As most of you know, when you're building a car, money gets tight in a hurry. I also know that your tranny is not a good thing to get left out. Mine is a stock 700R4 with a 2400 B&M stall, with a shift kit going in as soon as I can do it. The motor is gonna be putting around 500hp at the flywheel. Now suggesting I'm sticking around 1.8-2.0 60ft. times, how long is this thing gonna hold up? I'm gonna go up to Crete in May, so I would like it to last at least that long. Motor will be running in about 2 weeks, so any info will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

i think it will last 3 days short of may.....


it depends on driving style mainly....i take it that you're going to the track with this soon, so you might want to talk to pro built to have him give you recommendations on your trans.

Well, I'm not gonna be launching it for all it's worth everytime I get it in it, if you know what I mean. I'm gonna go to the track with it, but I usually only run it about 3 times when I go to the track. I'm just curious as to how long it will last. If I don't launch it all the time, and take care of it as much as I can.
