Default usual failure under power?

What are the accepted numbers that the auto tranny fails at? I heard about 500whp give or take a little ?

That would depend on the build and who you ask and of course what type of trans your talking about and in what vehicle weight, rear ratio, converter, ect ect , Many variables there.

There are so many variables that have an impact on the lifespan of a 4l60e, it is hard to nail down a particular rwhp number.
I will say that my stock trans, with mods in sig, has held up just fine for me w/o any issues at all.
I am on my 29th bottle of nitrous, and I spray through the gears running mid 11's, with 1.65-1.70 60' times.
I change tranny fluid often, every 3-4000 miles, and have a
24,000 pound tranny cooler.
I have kept my tq mgmt and never do wot downshifts while spraying.
So far, so good.
That being said, I have just recently ordered a lvl 4 trans from flt and a ss3600 from yank as I know my number is up once I up my nitrous to a 125 shot.
Hope this helps.
