Default Anybody Do An American Powertrain Conversion
Well blew up my 4l70 on the dyno. Made 450 to the tire on a new motor. Mild tune no Nitrous yet. Car is also set up like a pro touring, trans am series car. Will also never see the drag strip. If i have to spend 3000 to 4000 to build a auto that will last, might as well spend 5000 and put a 6 speed in it. Anyone here do there conversion or use there trans. Thanks

"american powertrain owns tremec now "

This completely false.
American Powertrain is a TREMEC dealer, but that is far from"owning".
