I have consistently run hi tens and short times on E.T Streets/ Skinnies in the 1.50-1.53 range. The track prep sucks IMO though , Moroso, Palm Beach,Florida
There is a host of quality hih perormanve transmission parts at www.transmissioncenter.net ..take a peek. They have ready built transmissions as well..Good People!!
Good Luck

59,000 miles, probably 250+ passes, and running the stock stall for 30,000 miles and a Midwest 2800 then 3400 converter for the other 29,000 miles. No slipping, comes out of the hole decent (low 1.7 60fts.), and still runs great! When it does go, I am calling FLP and getting their 4L60E or I just might get a new stocker and throw a shift kit in it. I hear that the important things for this tranny are changing the fluid frequently (check) and when running an aftermarket stall, having a cooler (check), deep pan (check), and a shift kit to increase line pressure as it should be. No shift kit here, but on my next tranny, I will have one.

i build 4l60es and they can handle 700hp no problem For the last few years, I have been concentrating on the problems of 700R4's & 4L60E's, and have come up with some "solid" solutions. With the help of Trans-Go (Reprogramming kits, No Yo-Yo steel front pump rings, accumulation products, and technical knowledge), Borg Warner (Hi-Energy 3-4 clutches, & Hi-Energy 2-4 band), and General Motors (Viton seal for the input to output shaft, eliminating rear planet failure due to lack of lubrication, and their Turbulator low-drag steel & quick clutch release technology). I thank you.
If you are "tired" of the 1-2 part throttle (slam, bang, harsh, or violent) shifts of your present 700R4 & 4L60E transmission, then you will like my Performance oriented 700R4/4L60E's. They offer nice part throttle 1-2 & 2-3 accumulated shifts with the shifts getting firmer with more throttle.
All of these factors have contributed to these units holding up to 550-575 HP for the Street/Strip 700R4 & 4L60E and 625-650 HP for the "Limited" Street 700R4 & 4L60E, (that is with using a 10" or smaller diameter torque converter of high quality). These transmissions come with a one year warranty.
If you are looking at building this transmission 700R4/4L60E yourself or having a competent builder do it for you, then I offer a very complete rebuild kits. These kits use the same parts that I use in all of my Performance 700R4 & 4L60E buildups, including the Trans-Go Performance Shift kit with the "proven" accumulation setup.
And paying close attention to clearances & details, has given us have many vehicles in the 11's, a few in the 10's, a couple of high 9's, and the quickest/fastest is a 3,630 lbs w/driver street driven 2000 Firebird. He built the transmission himself using the Pro Street Performance Upgrade, and has run a best of a 5.78ET @121mph in the 1/8 mile, & a 9.36ET @144.6mph in the 1/4 mile. By the way his wife does the driving. Had over 300 passes when he had to replace the 3-4 clutch pack. This shows you what the transmission is capable of, so it can be done, and you can do it with the right parts & direction.

I put 2 full seasons on my 4L60E. (~100 passes with a cammed motor running low 12s, and 100 more with the blown stroker running 10s) I just pulled it to go thru it - nothin broke, just a PM thing. I have the Z paks, 5 gear front planetary, vacuum mod, a couple of "Speed Secrets" done to it, and I run Royal Purple.

built Century tranny here, got it used from a friend . running it with a yank 3800 converter. so far so good.
I agree with changing fluids often. I had my stock trans in there for almost 30 k miles and it lasted cause i had a good trans cooler and transgo shift kit in it. I drove it normal on the street for the most part.
heat kills trannies. hoping this tranny lasts me a loooong time. Now i gotta do a rear before that goes.
