Default How long could a 4l60E with 510 RWHP NA last?

This is for a friend of mine. The car would rarely ever see the track and would be daily driven in a city. How long would a 4L60E last with that much RWHP?

With the right torque converter and the correct rebuild kit, you could make this unit last for quite awhile. Are you looking to build this unit yourself? or have a unit built?

I'm making around 430RW and have 30 HARD runs on my 4L60E plus 2K miles and it shifts like it was just done.510RW would last with a 2800/3200 stall and drag radials for a yr if it was built right,3rd gear usually goes away in a 4L60E after a while....

The weight of the car helps too
My car is under 3400lbs so if he's running this in a C5 that'll help too.
