4l60E vs. 700R4 Which whill hold more power freshly rebuilt? I dont need it to last forever i just need it to last a few months. I got a deal on a 700r4, $500 installed. Or i can pull my 4l60e and do it myself for about the same... my car makes a little over 400whp So i need something that will hold that for a while...

i just called my guy at the local speed shop and he said teh 700r4 will hold about 350whp before noticable damage. The 4l60e is up in the air as we all know. It break under stock power from time to time. im looking into a rebuild kit for my 4l60e, any ideas?

the 700r4 in my 85 seems to hold up pretty well under abuse, but i'm not kicking nearly the power you're talking about. I definitely like the way my 4l60 feels better, even after having the shift kit put in my 700.

Okay well first i wouldnt mess with the install, someone else is doing it for free basically...
Now if i just bought a master rebuild kit for my 4l60e what would i need to upgrade to hold my power for say... 20 quarter mile passes? Im t56 swapping it soon but i just want to go play before it starts snowing lol

You will loose your speedo. So for the same price just rebuild what you got. You'll be able to sell it easier later. Can you get a cheap junk yard th350 long tail and convert for a bit, no tv, dropes in, and even less cost just a trans x member. you'll still losse the speedo but the car will be faster and lighter. I've done it, ran great.
