What's the most power any of you guys have run through one of these? I have one and currently have 627rwhp. Thanks for your input.

I know some of the vette guys on corvette forum are using his 4l65e's in the 700+rwhp range or so and running around 149mph in the 1/4. But, I don't know how often they need to get re-freshened at that power level.

Thanks for your input. It's amazing how much difference weight makes. It would probably take nearly 1000rwhp for my Goat to run that fast in the 1/4.

I'm putting approx. 500 rwhp through mine. I haven't had any issues out of it yet. I've also driven it through bumper to bumper Atlanta traffic in 100+ degree heat quite a few times. So far so good.

65. I have heard that they will handle up to 800rwhp but will need refreshing periodically. I just wanted to see who has done what. Thanks for the input so far guys.

If you ever been to his new shop, and seen the cars there with his transmissions in them, you wouldn't have any concern as to if your RPM transmission could handle the power you're throwing at it.

627 is in the past! Much bigger numbers are coming soon. I'm just trying to figure out whether or not to trailer the car to the track.

Will it last more than one pass with 800-850rwhp or is something going to snap? I appreciate everyone's thoughts.

Why don't you give Rodney a call and ask? He will take the time to explain it. This way you'll be getting your info direct from the source. I talked to him once before and he is a nice guy.
