4L60E and 600+hp
don't get your hopes up, I made a thread a couple weeks ago looking for build suggestions for my tranny and no one replied
I can't blame the shops but I was hoping at least a couple others here might have built one of these up instead of buying one

Not being a jerk but probably because it's been covered numerous times.

I just blew up my 4l60e that JUST got rebuilt with parts supposedly able to handle 450+ rwhp. If you look at my sig you'll see that I am no where close to that number.
I too would like to know what I (or my shop) went wrong.

my car made 561/ 555 and went 11.0@125 with 1.55 6o's for a year about 20 passes...
until my # 6 rod bearing decided to cause trouble
RPM level 5 4L60e w/ trans cooler about 2500 miles

The big issue is that it takes more than parts, You will not every vendor here has some really storng cars running there units, But you will also note that each ussues different parts to get there, While parts do indeed play a role the fact is the build itself and the little tweaks and mods each builder has learned over the years to make them live.
I have seen over the years many post like this and unfortunatley I have seen more failures than successes in this area. If your going to build your own thats cool look at parts listed for the various vendors and you should get a good idea of wwhat you need in that area, And if this is for a learning experince and not to save money I would say go for it as long as the cars not a daily driver and you have lots of time and pateince on your hands.

I know there's more that I'm forgetting, but I set the 3/4 clutches up @ .015. I have between 100 and 200 passes and around 15k miles on this build and the pan hasn't been off. I accidently launched in 2nd gear on a 200 shot without killing it (1.60 60').
