How much power can it hold before an aftermarket tc is needed?

It'd be a lot easier to answer your question if you were explaining what you're trying to do - how much HP are you going to make?

From what I've seen/read, the stock TT auto trans itself will fail long before the TC itself does, usually between 400-500hp depending on the tires you're running and the way you drive.

By the time you're making that much power, and need a built Toyota auto, you'll also be installing an upgraded higher stall TC at the same time.

I can't recall seeing a Supra that was set up with a 500+ HP single setup, built trans, and stock stall. I'm also not intimately familiar with all the ways that various upgraded TC's are reinforced to handle high HP.

I do know that Titan's new stall converters have been getting a lot of praise, and a lot of folks are going from PI converters to Titans because 700+hp power levels don't start blowing through the Titan converter on the big end the same way it does on the PI unit.

Hope that helps.

If you are going to put a built auto in put in a higher stall TC at the same time... most of us TT Auto guys will put in a higher stall before a built auto to max out the stock auto box... I suggest looking into the titan TC's... If I were you I would not put the stock TC infront of a built auto... get a high stall TC and have a good time.
