I was wondering what is the most horsepower you can get out of a stock AOD. I want people to respond with the mods and horsepower! Thanks

just to let you know, you dont have an AOD, you have an AODE/4R70W. the transmission is different. generally they are good until about 450hp, then stuff breaks.

I imagine that is 450 rwhp (562 bhp). Is this about the same limit for a stock rear end?

i wouldnt put anything more than 350rwhp through a stock bottom end, but im all for strengthening stuff before it breaks.

sorry, i meant flywheel power for the 450rating. thats the most that i would personally put through a stock 4r70w
