Default Specs on a RPM stage 5 4le60?

does anyone know the specs on it, and is there a big difference between that and a rebuilt 4le60. What i mean is if I rebuild my 4le60 to the max, will there be a big difference still? any input will help. Thanks guys.

I cant tell you the specs on the RPM I can tell you there will be a difference between a unit built by them, Us or other performance vendors because there is in fact a whole lot more to building these than just the parts used, Ever wondered why even though each of us may use different parts and brands but still get similar results?
Much time as been put in over in most cases many years figuring out just what works with what and what clearances are needed and what feed hole sizes and accumulation mods are needed to work with the parts and make them compliment each other.

i have the rpm level 5 trans and its worked out nicely for me so far. yes there is a huge difference between a built aftermarket trans and a stock rebuild. Aftermarket built trans cost twice as much as a stock rebuild for a reason. High quality parts that are stronger and last longer, also expertiese on what makes them weak is what you are paying extra for.

Well I am sure you could find one at RPM however I am also sure that any of the board sponsors here could handle your needs also

i have an rpm level v in my vette and could not be happier. hundreds of low 11 1/4 passes on motor and plenty of 10's on the juice. it has never missed a beat in its daily driver duties either.

In other words we can build a unit to suit your needs we also have some really good specials on right now and offer and excellent converter also.
The stall range you mentioned sounds like a good set up with the limited info you have listed about your car, Please look at our sales thread below.

Exotic Performance Plus sells RPM transmissions if im not mistaken. I have one of their Level V T56s with all the goodies, and like was said, their customer service kicks ***.

I believe as long as you stay with a well known, experienced builder, you should be good though. Im dealing with a not so solid build right now.
