Default How much hp can it hold? 4l60e

Just bought a 2001 camaro for wife it has a corvette servo, shift kit, seal lock,raybestos z pack, sprags, vigilante 3600 stall. No cooler needs a cooler I know! Any ideas debating on how much power to put to it my other car I am building is a built 4l80e! Here is the kicker she wants a Procharger.


thanks in advance!

I've seen 60s break at 400 wheel and I've seen them handle 800wheel in 4000lb cars. All depends on the builder, how its driven, trans temps and converter.

The Z-Pak has very thin frictions which makes it extra sensitive to heat. IMHO the Z-Pak and no-cooler is a particularly bad combination. Get an external cooler on it ASAP!
The only 4L60E that could reliably handle a ProCharger would be the Level-7 from FLT or RPM or the "Black Edition" from PerformaBuilt. These cost $4000 plus options. A modestly built 4L80E will cost less and be stronger and more reliable.

wouldn't suggest building a 4l60e unless you going to be running under 500hp anything after that i would suggest going 4l80e
