Default spraying on a stock 4l60e

Hey guys im new here I have a 98 ws6 with an auto trans. My car is basicly stock i have a 3000 converter,exhasut minus headers,underdrive pulley,cutout,grantelli massairflow sensor,lid with k/n,hypertech and i think thats it no major mods. My question is how much can a stock auto trans take. Lets say spraying a 50-75 shot my car has 73,000 miles on it id like to spary my car this spring with a very small shot. Im worried about blowing up the trans or even my motor im sure ill need headers if i spray anything into it. My other concern is more wear and tear on the converter ive had no probs at all with it and its been in the car about 5,000 miles now. Theirs no hurry since i wont drive the car for atleast a month.
thanks guys for all your help

It might not last, it's a gamble. Be ready to spend the money on built tranny.

hey man thanks alot for the reply I dont think it will either a buddie of myne has a 2001 ss basicly stock with avortech v9 i think it is blower and hes been through 2 stock trans's. He also drives like a complete ******* I dont beat my car at all but with all the torque on the spray im sure the trans wont last long. Im going to do some type of forged motor next winter and a buddie of myne is selling his spray kit now so i figured maybe I could spray a 50shot or so and maybe the trans wil hold up but im doubtful too but i figured it would be worth a shot

thanks for the response
