Cool! That will be my next purchase:hail:RPM

That is pretty impressive. It would be neat to see how many passes it can take at that level.

sounds like a power glide to me? I only hear one shift...is it launching in 2nd?

*Waits for someone to use a 4l60e as ballast in a 7 second car*

This transmission has been in Arun's car for quite a few years now at this power level with zero failures.

Arun uses the 2nd gear start feature that all C5 Corvettes have from the factory. His car makes so much power and is so violent out of the hole the 2nd gear start helps to tame it down so the tires can actully hook.

LOL! Shes a real full blooded 4L60e with overdrive, lock up converter and everything. Arun's car is a real deal, full fledged street car. A/C blowing cold with the radio blastin, stock seats under your butt and an air bag to punch you in the face if the worst should happen. We will eventually find a car with enough power to make a 7 second pass with a 4L60e and we won't need to chuck it in the trunk :D

That's a cool story Jeremy! Congrats to everyone involved.

I know how hard it is to keep one of those units alive in a beast and it's no small feat. Good job RPM!
