Default Am I asking for trouble?
Stock 4L60E / Yank SS3600... 444rwhp/392tq... N/A.

Should I pull the trans and have it built before it blows? Or run it till it blows? I don't really care if I blow the trans but at the same time I don't want to send a bunch of trash through the converter....

Honestly at that level I'd be contacting a sponsor for a built tranny unless you have a good local builder. A stock 4L60 probably isnt gonna live a very long time behind that much power. Might check into RPM/Performabuilt/FLT or Jakes as they now offer a 4L60 & I have heard nothing but good about Jakes.

That's really pushing it especially if you spin 6500+ rpms. If you have the money, I would upgrade now.
