The auto can handle 500rwhp or so before it starts slipping. There are a few companies that offer to rebuild the internals, but that'll only get it up to about 650rwhp or so reliably (depending on exactly how hard you drive, the tires you're running, etc.). Most Mkiv owners that are 700rwhp+ with an auto swap to a TH400..

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
