Default 4L60E for 800 rwhp

What is going to make my 4L60E hold up to daily driver use. I recently had it rebuilt and it has held up so far to 550rwhp but Im upgrading and shooting for 750 rwhp. Im think im going to have to upgrade something for this next horsepower level.

I want to keep the car as daily driver as possible, so the turbo trans is out the picture.

80e for reliablity. but for 800hp it will need a few internal mods to make it more reliable.

Hopefully some of the sponsors will post but I thought they where getting 4L60E's to hold up to that kind of power.

the 80 is a better trans not just for tough wise but for the power he is creating the first gear ration will be better for for his application for traction. with traction and that kind of power if it doesnt break the trans (60e) it will climb the ring gear everytime.

I agree with the others at that power range you're much better off getting a 4L80. Hell at my power range I would have bought one if I could(******* Corvettes lol). Give FLT a call and see what they have to say.
