I've got about 15k on mine, and it's doing great so far!

Our daily driven 2000 Camaro SS has been through 2 full seasons of bracket racing with our Circle D built 4L60E and still hammers the shifts hard and runs the number. It is not even the max effort build they offer. We didn't plan to run low 11s when we had them build our tranny.

My sons 2001 SS runs their higher level built 4L60E and hasn't blinked after 2 seasons of bracket racing. He also runs low 11s.

Both cars duplicate numbers running a Circle D Specilties 2E stall converter.

I can't give you a time line on our quicker 9 second Circle D Specialties 4L60E either because it was swapped out for a Glide due to traction issues. The turbo car it went into is still going strong. The Circle D Specialties Glide is still going rounds and making $$ if that means anything.lol.
