C6 4 Speed Gearbox
Hi there,
did any one of you guys know what is the maximum HP can the C6
4-Speed auto gearbox handle without any modifications to the gearbox

Last year's special edition of Corvette Quarterly says (pg. 65) that the C6 auto tranny can handle 670 lb.-ft. of input torque, according to Steve Ford, assistant chief engineer for the auto tranny. Article doesn't say how much HP. Don't think HP would be the units you should worry about.

Hp burns things up, TQ breaks them.
If the tranny can manage the TQ (e.g. not break any gears of shafts or bearings) then you can manage just about any (ahem: reasonable) HP level with transmission oil coolers.
