Race ready PG with SBM bellhousing
I attached the build sheet. Putting a HP rating on a transmission is a difficult task especially because people will want to hold you to it. However, I can say the weakest link of this powerglide, is the stock 1.76 gear set, but the 1.76 gear set is known to be able to handle a good bit of power. Most rate the gear set around 650-700hp. Others have used 1.76 in 800+ HP vehicles with success. It truly all depends on the abuse the planetary set saw before being used for racing. I will say if the planetary gears or carrier showed me some concern, I would not have used them in a drag race transmission. With that being said, this transmission is a good unit. I have friends running mid 10s in 3200+ lb vehicles using a 1.76 gearset as well as some other stock powerglide components. Please read the build sheet as I have laid out a lot of information on there and I will answer any questions you have.
