The Power of a 700r4...?
Hello Everyone
I am new to the posting/car scene and I wouldn't mind some advice. So, I have a 1986 z28 camaro with a 305 TBI and a 700r4. I am planning on putting in a TPI 305 and an ebay turbo kit for a low budget/daily driver build. My question is: will my stock 700r4 hold the new found power or should I get a rebuild/beef-up kit? Also, I plan on running low boost at first, possibly a forged crank and pistons/rods to hold the power.
Thanks

Dana at Pro Built is the man to talk to for sure. The late 87 and up units are a lot different and much stronger than the early ones. I don't know if the early 700R4s can be updated to the later components. Dana will know.
