Torque will take care of crappy first gears.
Andy, you said you upgraded your tranny before installing it. That is why yours is good.
If you were to crack it open beside TH350 guts, you would see that the clutch packs are 10 times better on the 350. Won't even talk about the TH400.
The 700 is fine for a stock situation. i would just never install it behind a HI-Po motor.
The gear vendors is so tough, you'll never build a street engine (small block/big block) that could hurt it.
