If it stock you are likley pushing the limits now though some people are lucky that way. It doe not appear to be the rule. Now the 4L60E can be built to withstand considerable HP however.

transgo loved it if my memory serves me correctly this helps extend the life of the trans, by not allowing the trans to slip into gear as much hence the harder shifts
