How much is too much???

I have an 85 TC with an automatic transmission. My question is: How much power is too much for it?

I have heard that the A4LD auto in the 87-88 TC's were very weak, is this true for the autos found in the 83-86's too?

Over the next few years (or lifetimes [Image: biggrin.gif]) I plan on getting this up to about 250-280 rwhp. When will my transmission start to limit my goals?

Thanks for everyones help.

I believe you've got the C3 not the A4LD. Both good up to around 250-275HP, just don't abuse them (no burnouts, power braking, etc.)
