Default trans strong enough?

i was wondering if a lid, full exhaust, shift kit, 3.73s, and a 3500 stall would be too much for a stock trans?

if its a dumb question just lemme no

How many miles are on it?Make sure you run a tranny cooler and maybe a deeper pan.Heat is the biggest killer of an auto trans.A big tc will kill an auto quick without keeping it cool.Alot of people run what you listed without problems.Its hit or miss with these tranny's.I have friends stock,maybe lid/exhaust with blown trannys as well.

a cooler is an absolute must with a stall
that setup i wouldnt expect to kill your trans, then again they are a bit on the hit or miss side
a big thing to remember to improve the life of the trans, keep it cool(transcooler) and flush the fluids regulary, i think GM says every 30K, but if your racing it and driving hard id suggest every 15K
