LOL can you find out what OLD transmissions like TH350's, TH400's and ford C4, and C6 were rated at?!? Im pushing 700tq on my near stock C6 and that thing wont die!!
Automatic's are a different animal all together. They are given two different ratings, one is maximum engine torque which is kind of standardized. The other rating is maximum gearbox torque which takes torque conversion into consideration. For example, the Hydramatic 6L90 has two ratings, 551lb-ft and 885lb-ft... Torque converters are responsible for that, another reason drag racers love autos..

The 551 would be the minimum with a 1:1 conversion, like a stick, the 885 would include the maximum after conversion as well as a large GVWR and Tow Capacity.
