How long is my 4L60E gonna last? Recently i spun a bearing in my 98 TA, so i am putting in a 408 ls1 stroker from HPE. 
i got a cam with the 408 but am using the stock heads till i can afford new ones. Also i have headers on back and 3.73 rear. have all the bolt on suspension upgrades as well. so ill have over 400 to the wheels but my question is how long will my 4L60E last me with the power. oh and im having a 3600 stall TC, shift kit, and tranny cooler put on as well.

The Max Evil was $2k, plus about $130 for vacuum modulation. Got it through Speed inc. (www.ls1speed.com)
Even with a transgo you should not shift your transmission manually!

I would guess you'd be making about 450-480rwhp with that set up? Should last for awhile, I've beaten the **** out of my original trans and it's still hanging in. Get a tranny temp gauge too, that way you'll know when to go easy on it.
