how much can the 4L60E handle? with a TCI3000 stall and 76,000 miles? I am putting on new heads and a 222/228 cam in very soon. I am also flirting with the idea of a little juice. I am expecting to be over 400 before the juice over 500 with. Can this tranny hold that? I have been told that a shift kit will kill that tranny with that many miles on it? Is that true? Any comments would be great!

mine is slipping going into second with 5.3 heads and a 224/224 and all bolt-ons. I just went over 20,000 miles also. So, I think it depends on how rough you are on it. I beat the crap out of mine.... start setting money aside would be my recomendation.

After the tranny went down at 10 psi, I had it rebuilt for 750 hp. At the same time I switched to a FMIC and the boost went to 13 psi. I changed the pulley from 3.4 to 3.7 to bring boost down and thats why I am at 9 psi presently. So far so good with the rebuilt tranny.
