I don't think a 4L60E can support that kind of horsepower. Rossler probably builds the strongest of the 4L60E's then I would think it would be Century transmissions but again I don't think they would support that much HP's. Most people in the HP range are running either a TH-400, Th-350 or a 2004R or if the car is really light a power glide.

Yah, at the very high power levels like that guys have reported that some of the slipping issues in the 4L60E are kinda hard to overcome.

I second that, 4L60E and strong just don't go together....

I would vote FLP for the best. But even that will need to be refreshed probably once per season at the 700hp level....

Didn't take long to burn up my stock tranny. I now run one of Chucks trannys.

Looking at your sig it does not look like you will be needing one of the stage 4 tranny's unless you are planning some serious winter mods!

700hp, reliable, and 4L60 do not belong in the same sentance

Don't get me wrong, it is entirely possible for a 4L60 to survive behind 700hp, but don't expect 100,000 miles from it. Expect at minimum yearly refreshing and don't ever be surprised if it breaks at the track.

Guess no one has used a Cmotorsports Trans! They rock!
BTW, I dont know of ANY auto trans that will last for 100,000 without tiring, and to do a freshen up is just a winter project for everyother year. Its not like a 700rwhp engine is going to go 100,000 miles without breaking, or needing a freshen up. I vote Cmotorsports or FLP.

My vote is FLP or CMotorsports. FLP has been proven over and over, and I think CMotorsports has the highest horsepower in front of a 4L60E, something like 1000 horsepower in a 4500 pound Impala last I heard.

Well FLP Level 4 has survived 18K daily driven and race miles without anything more than fluid changes. It's cut a pile of 1.4 60s with a SY3500 on a 3,850 lb car that puts down 560 HP on the Mustang dyno.

So it's plenty dependable. The others recommended here make good hardware too.

hell, my stocker lasted 35,462miles/over 600 track passes, with plenty of bottles of Nitrous assitance (thats some torques spikes too) and lots of 1.51 range 60', pulling the Autos front end. Then one it decided it did not want to shift into 3rd while running another 200shot thru her....all my runs made were sprayign thru the shifts, and outta the hole FWIW. Not to say FLP isnt great. Only that going with lots of power you haev to expect to refresh the engine right? So do the trans too, its only common sense. FLP, and Cmotorsports are both sponsors--------->
Yank is sponsor too, but no good info on their trans, maybe none is good!
