tranny grenaded itself

My tranny is **** out of luck. i need some advice of what to do. First off i need a tranny to handle the power my engine makes, which is somewhere close to 500 horses give or take. I would like it to be able to take some abuse but also would like overdrive because this is mainly a street car.

If i rebuld my 700r4, what is the best performance rebuild kit? Is a t56 feasible? and what other transmissions have overdrive and can handle this much hp easily? Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do some reading here, their levels of build options may help you decide

You can get a 700 to handle over 600HP
Don't cheap out on the converter...mine was over $500
I'm in Canada and I paid over $2500 locally just for parts but it still runs strong after more than a year
I made the mistake of getting a stage 2 kit installed with a 'Vette servo and it hammers into 2nd during daily driving but boy does it go @ WOT
