How much horsepower can a stock 700r4 handle? I am probably only making around 300hp to the wheels so I dont think I have anything to worry about.

Stock won't go over 400 hp. However, it would be smart not to try to push it. Get it rebuilt to handle the driving you are doing. You need a corvette servo, and stronger clutches, at the minimum.
