Default building a th350 for 550-600whp

thinking about building a th350 i have for a turbo 5.3 build that i plan on making between 550-600whp with, i plan on installing a RMVB and a b&m overhaul kit and b&m 3000 stall converter. these are the parts i plan on using

http://www.jegs.com/i/B-M/130/20413/...oductId=748034

now would these be able to stand up to that kind of power? would i need any other parts like an input/output shaft or aftermarket sprag?


id like to use a 4l80e with a transgo hd2 shift kit and converter but i figure i can do the th350 for considerably less since i already have the th350 and a 4l80e converter alone would be $850ish on top of the $300 or so id pay for a good trans and $150 for the shift kit

Get heat treated sprag race. The stocker cracks/blows up at the oiling holes on a 350. I think you will get sick of shifting the tranny. I would stick with a good shift kit and take out the accumulator spring on the side of the trans. Jake can hook you up and that B&M converter Jake can do better. I have a 3000 stall B&M #481 nitrous converter with the anti ballooning plates,some say they work and some dont.

ive had cars before with a RMVB and i actually like it over a trans that shifts itself, but i will look into that stuff, thanks!
