Default My 4L60 Carnage Pics!!
Well I guess track prep was pretty good Sunday, truck hooked pretty good and the output shaft decided it wan't to take a ****. Made it to about the 330 mark and the fourwheeler had to tow me the rest, lol. It took everything with it, case, planetaries, pump, input shaft and housing. Trans was a total loss and nothing will be reusable. I know it wasn't good when it locked up trying to get it on the trailer, or that I had to use a sledge hammer to get it apart. I'll be going back with a billet one for sure this time. But everything else looked brand new. THANKS again for all that helped out!!!!!

Havn't been on the dyno with this nitrous kit or after fast 90/90 on it, but probably about 700rwhp on 1 kit, and another 100 on the other kit.

Ya, the 8.5's can take some power. There are full weight trucks running 9's with them.
