700R4...put my mind at ease! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

So I'm running a 700 behind my mini blown small block 383 that will make at least 500hp. I almost went with BTO when a friend recommended a tranny guy locally that knew 700's pretty well and if anything went wrong, he would take care of it without me pulling the tranny and shipping it somewhere.

He started with a later 700 and upgraded the pump, put a heavy duty sun gear, better clutch bands....etc.....

I bought the BTO TV cable assembly and am aware of how important the fluid pressure is to give these trannys' a longer life.

My question is how many guys have had success with this tranny behind something healthy and what they attribute that to?

I'm a little paranoid that this tranny won't live too long!!
