Cant really give any info on them, but I know for a fact that cant be true. Not with a 4l60e. Other then that they seem like a good deal for the money.

i think ImportPatrolWS6 has one fo these transmissions. he made i believe 500 rwhp on spray and ran it for a season so far. ask him.

Let you know soon dropped mine off today I have one of there 382 shortblocks. Car went in for a trans and a ss4000 yank.Wish I could help you more.

I had used to have the Pure Evil (stage 2) and it worked just fine, but I also didn't beat on it too bad. I launched at about 3k on Nittos, making about 375hp at the time. I don't know how it will hold up to big power and some hard track time. I would say for the money and the power you are making, if you can live without overdrive, just go with a th350 or th400.

I have one for 6K miles now with mods/times in my sig. I'm only pushing around 380 to the wheels though and take care of it. No problems but then again I have low power levels.

I put the dr. Evil stage 3 in this past april. And ran about 525rwhp and close to 500rwt, This also includeds the juice. Ran, great, and never missed a beat. Works great.

I looked into Dr. Evil trannys but I couldnt find much info on them... I called Yank to ask them what they thought... They recommended GearStar, I have been very happy with them obviously (if you read my other posts)

Ask what vehicles that have used this transmission, as to what ET's & mph, and how many passes? This should give you some indication as to what they will "really" hold up to. The reason I say this, is that there are a few companies that have made "claims" to have units (700R4/4L60E's) to hold 800HP, but where are the vehicles doing this, as this would be great "free" advertising. Dave at Rock-On and I have done extensive testing with what is out there now, (HD upgrades, etc.) and have agreed that 700-725HP is a "realistic" limit as to what will work with "some degree" of reliabilty. There are always exceptions to this, but were talking reliabilty here. I hope this helps.

I thought you posted somewhere you were going TH400 this year. If so, how come the change?

I've had mine for 17k miles. High 11 second passes. It's a good transmission. I was thinking about selling it for $1100 if anyone is interested. I just bought a 408 and I think I might need something more stout like a 80e.

I have the stage 3 trans from him and the trans works perfect with 578 HP.

Hey, off topic my buddy lives in Love's Park. He has an 02 NBM SS and an 06 black E55 AMG. I'm sometimes in the area visiting.

Well at the time I was going with a set-up of over 700rwhp, but that fell thru. I was going with the th400, with that set-up for added insurance.

I am still running the dril evil trans and close to 600rwhp, and still doing great!
