Software & pulley upgrade.......
Been utterly satisfied with VAP. Tuning these cars is wonderful - the v6 on e85 is 550hp.... 475 on 93. That is remarkable...and the zf8hp70 in the F-type is in no way overwhelmed by these numbers out of a tuned v6. I worry about a tuned v8...
Via google search:
The ZF8HP70 transmission has a torque handling limit of 700 N⋅m (520 lbf⋅ft). The 70 in the 8HP refers to 700nm or around 516 ft lbs.

650+ hp (on pump) is a real hoot!
I think the "YouTube" limit on the zf8hp70 is like 700 ft lbs (have no idea, so don't quote me)...the quote I used was the factory limit which ironically is just over the stock SVR/R.2.....likely on purpose.
Yeah, hard to say, need empirical evidence to really know, and even then it has to do with how the torque is applied (how you drive the car, rwd vs awd, how you maintain, etc). It's just like your motor was not factory engineered to produce 475 hp, but companies like VAP do extensive work to determine what we all can get away with "safely". Modding always has a degree of risk because we are eating away at the large safety margine manufacturers engineer in (some systems have more margin than others). Probably the same with the ZF, but again I have no idea other than the fact my transmission shifts hard wide open and has given me no issue. Like my motor oil, I plan to change the transmission fluid at an increased frequency. That ZF is used in other cars where you probably could read on how they fare on modified cars (I think Dodge uses them and there's a fairly large community of modders)
According the numbers in my MY18 handbook, the 550 engine is 680Nm and the 575 is 700Nm, so right on the limit.

I believe the 700 Nm figure for the gearbox is also very conservative and it can easily and safely handle quite a bit more.
Lastly the TCU and PCM talk to each other so as to wind back/limit engine torque if the TCU detects conditions where full torque might be a strain on the gearbox.
My old 2010 XFS (3.0 litre V6 twin turbo diesel with the older 6HP26) was tuned for over 700 Nm, it went like a scalded cat and I never once had any gearbox problems.
