I would think the trans would be fine. First he is currently down on power due to the altitude and second the E4OD is pretty beefy. A quick internet search will reveal lots of guys installing them behind big blocks in muscle cars etc. That being said I'm convinced there are two things that cause premature failure in the E4OD, the first being non-functioning sensors and the second being it's standard soft shifting. My future plans involve a shift kit to firm up the shifts in mine. A soft gentle shift really slips the clutches. The E4OD can also be upgraded during a rebuild.
