    i just had my trans rebuilt in my 99 GTP they did all the basic upgrades there not a performance shop but its not an original trans if you know what im saying. what im wondering is what kind of crank horse power can this trans handle? stock is 240hp and 280torque. i was considering modding it to reach 300hp and 350torque at the crank

    you'll be fine.

    Just slap a transgo shift kit in there as well.

    FWIW, it holds the same as a non HD: Not much when abused.

    i was going to do Headers, cat-back, intake, overkill PCM, 3.4'' pulley, and all little supporting mods which i figure is about 300hp at the crank at least. you think my rebuilt trans can handle that? i wont abuse it but i wont baby it all the time

    add a valvetrain mod or two for 300 at the crank though.

    At least? Maybe 270.
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.

    They will hold the same amount of power. and you might hit 280 with that setup.

    It runs way hotter than yours aswell, thus shorting its life.

    throw a shift kit in there and you'll be fine.

    What will break your trans completely depends on how you drive.

    no, read it over again man. if you look it says engine ranges 2.5 to 5.3, and this spec sheet covers the mn7 which is the hd version of this trans. which is what is in my gxp.
