I have heard from racing buddies that the 700-r4 can only handle 350 hp and 350 ft lbs at the flywheel until they go boom. Many upgrades are available at a premium price. Have you considered converting to a th-350?

You are right about the extra rpms. I have read about other members here running a conventional trans like the 350 with an aftermarket bolt on overdrive unit. The name escapes me but others will likely chime in.
