Default 350 hp with stock tranny?

So I'm pretty new to building engines, but I'd like to build my L31 engine up to have at least 350 hp. Will the stock 4L60-E tranny be able to handle that or do I need to upgrade?

Depends. It would be a very close call. Assuming that you are going to be punching it, I doubt a stock 4L60E is going to last very long. I would suggest an aftermarket
fluid/air cooling system if you keep the 4L60E.
