nobody can assure you that the tranny will hold up

the question that has not been posed to you, and must be is

how will you drive the vehicle?

If you will always feather the throttle then it will be fine

if you like to hit it, be it from the dig, while rolling etc then the tranny will eventually go south on you.

stock rebuild- fine until more power was added to the engine

hammering it made tranny go buh bye

street/strip rebuild- running fine

i would at least switch to a vette servo, dont have to take the trany out for that. maybe a modded valve body.

pop it enough times and the sunshell will eventually go buh bye taking out other things along with it.

The LT1, for a small block makes a heap of low end torque. With tune,CAI, LT's, ORY, and 1.6 rockers, after being pounded enough, my stock rebuilt tranny grenaded. I've rebuilt the rear end and don't run sticky tires so my 10 bolt is doing just fine.

You can drive for a while but save up your pennies.. And when the tranny does go south, be sure to replace the rear main seal since the tranny is already out.
