Default will the tranny hold

I have a 98 formula with LThedders ORY lid
loudmouth TCI 3500-3800verter.I was thinking of adding a(TR224)cam I just wanted to know if my tranny can take this power level,and if yes what if I ad heads(I know thats pushing it)? The car will mainly be for the street it has never seen the track dont know if it will(maybe once or twice just to see what it will do).

thanks John

I had the tr224 and all bolt ons but my stall was a 2800. And the car made well over 100 passes in that form didnt hold the 382 stroker very well though. Best thing to do is run a tranny cooler change the fluid and watch the temp of the fluid. Nice little cam though.

Question should be, how much rwhp will the stock 4L60E hold with an aftermarket stall?

The 100 passes was before the stroker made about 10 passes with the stroker and it was starting to slip with bolt ons and the 2800 stall I made over a 200 passes.Yes the tranny has over 300 passes on it the car is bracket raced.
