Default Asking for trouble?

I've got a 2000 Trans Am A4 with 3.23 gears w/ nittos out back. With a cam and bolt-ons I put down 373 rwhp/369 rwtq. My transmission is completely stock and I was thinking about a 3500 or so stall with a 2.0 or higher str. Does anyone think I'de be pushing the limits of the stock tranny and I'de break something? TIA

I too have the 323's & am considering this Tq Conv.
Add 123K on my stock tranny. Hmmm, wonder if i am asking for trouble? Mine is driven daily, fluids changed religiously.
Good luck.

With good track use, i'm sure the tranny would eventually give up. But i honestly wouldn't worry about it too much.

The car is only driven on the weekends and it only sees the track maybe twice a year.

423 RWHP, 3.23s, and a 4000 stall here. Knock on wood but it's still performing flawlessly after ~29,000 miles (9K at the current power level) and several mid and low 11 second 1/4 miles passes.

The tranny has a TCI shift kit, a TCI tranny cooler, and F-type fluid. That's it.
