Only one way to find out lol.
I'm sure you can get some use out of it during normal driving. But I wouldn't expect more then a few dozen hard passes before some symptoms start to show.
My brother had a cam and 4k stall and made a lot of passes through the stock one, only until a few months into it, the stocker finally gave. But you could be lucky with yours.

I have been on my stock trans with 4k stall and running in the 11's for the last year.I take the car to the track as much as possible and usually enter two classes. I realize I might be on borrowed time but I cannot see replacing it until it starts acting up,it has been fine so far. I might add my car has low miles on it.33k

Honestly, it really depends on your driving habits (always in it, high RPM shifts, granny driving, etc)
Do you have a trans cooler yet? if not GET ONE ASAP. Also get a temp guage to monitor the temps.
My tranny lost 3-4 gears at about 150k miles. So I got it rebuilt locally about 2 years ago and now I have about 173k miles, guess what, no more 3-4 gears. Im just going to do it right this time and get a built tranny with a huge cooler in it AND get a temp gauge.
Ask anyone, the biggest cause of transmission failure is heat. With the converter, we just heat it up that much faster.
Good luck with it and let us know how it works out!
