No problem.
I think it all depends on how you use the power and not how much you have. As far as the Allison stock converter, I agree that the unit is solid with exception to the TCC piston design. There is nothing to stop the piston when the clutch applies and the center actually comes down a little too far giving you a ( stepping on a frisbee affect ) and causing the inside portion of the clutch to burn and the outside to hardly touch at all. The engineers at Allison admit to this. If you do not have a solid lock at the converter clutch your trans will not live.
