Default stalled 100k+ guys

ok, so i'm looking at a 2000 z28 with right around 123k

my plans if i am to purchase it are stall and boltons, most likely nitrous down the road when i have funds to purchase a built transmission

i've been looking going with a 3600, maybe a 4000...how are your stock 4L60Es holding up? i'm not super worried, just looking for some opinions

thanks!

120 I stalled mine with a 3k Fuddle, doing fine so far but I am worried how long it can hold. 134k on the clock now! Good luck

Had a stall in mine for 30,000 miles now. At least 250 passes on it, and have been making nitrous passes lately ( 100 shot ). The car is daily driven with almost 103,000 miles on it.

Just do all your due diligence and maintain the damn thing and you'll be alright.

FWIW, My stall is a TCI. According to many, it should have went boom 29,000 miles ago...

I hate TCI...

To the OP, the important thing is to do ALL the supporting mods ( shift kit, deep pan, cooler, tune ), and MAINTAIN the transmission, and you'll be okay.

I stalled mine with 114K miles and it was fine, but when I broke my pump I had the shop rebuild the whole tranny, they said my clutches were really burned and scored. It SEEMED fine to me, but when I got it rebuilt it felt AWESOME. I gained .2 and 1.5 MPH in the 1/4 mile with the rebuilt tranny. Crazy huh?
