Truthfully there is not much difference in a syty tranny than in a normal corvette tranny. There are a couple of larger valves that can be bought, and some orfices that are plugged, different shaft that GM has, servo that came in the corvette, and larger holes in seperator plate to help flow fliud, high flow pump, and HD springs, and a police gov. Gm could have done alot to the tranny but didn't.
Not to bust any bubbles or start a flame war but yes there are differences but not many. It's still a 700R4 with 700r4 parts. Everything is just super sized in the way of valves and pistons. You can make any 700 shift like a Sy/Ty with mods and the right part's. If your buying a tranny get a 90+. It will simplify things if you did get a Sy/Ty tranny because you wouldn't need to buy all the use less stuff. Since your going RWD you don't need the output shaft and that's probably the hardest part to find along with a complete VB.
Or you can call Hartman or Waller and have them point you in the right direction. I just rebuilt mine and found all this out for myself. Waller has a couple sitting arround ready to go out I think. Hartman is good but you need good paitents.
What did you think about the info I sent you? That was of my build and what mods I did.
So yes, a 700 will hold every bit of power if built correctly. There are a million things you can do but you need to know the right combo.
