13psi isn't too much for an automatic...something else is going on. 700

I'd get another box before I'd pay the guy to 'recondition' your box.

Also, when you get the new box make sure the fluid is clean and preferably flush it to a synthetic ATF, amsoil comes to mind.

I've run 15-17psi boost with no problem for some 40K...trans shifts smoothly and no burnt synthetic fluid (still change the fluid every 50K!).

OTOH, if you're power braking at launch and/or dropping it into Drive at 4K rpm...nothing is going to hold up.

While you have the box out, you might consider putting in a high stall torque converter.
