[quote=racerx][quote=dthemi]A stock turbo 400 with a brake will take 700 hp almost till the end of time. A bell, some work on the mount, and forget [quote]
If you're breaking a 727 at 700hp something is wrong. A stock piece with a good valve body will last at that level.

Jim Paquet( sp) owned JPT( Jims performance transmissions) forever. Retired now. For years built pretty much all the C4/C6 stuff for class racers in the country. Had a national record holder Dodge Dakota he campaigned. His brother Ray has national record holder S/S B Thunderbolt.
Sharp guy. He told me one time....” most of these transmissions have 40 or 50 year old parts in them. They can break at any power level because of that. I stripped a planetary out of a well built 727 at about 650 horse first year i ran the trans. Fixed it with just replacement parts, ran forever. I disagree anything is wrong, the stuff is just old and can just let go.
Consider yourself lucky Doug
