Stock 4L80E vs Built 4L60E........how much stronger is the 4L80E....?
I just got my car back...brand new AES 390ci. Makes around 400 RWHP. 10.8:1 cr engine built for boost. Getting a TT kit later this year, but for now
My 4L60E is not gonna last long. I can buy stock 4L80E trannys around here everywhere.
I can have it gone through to make sure it gets a basic rebuild kit done to it.
......Will that 4L80E hold 600 RWHP from a 200 shot I want to put on it?
......Will it last at least 6 months if I spray it about twice a week on the highway.....roll runs only......NO drag racing from a dig.?

Maybe even upgrade a couple pieces that are the ones that are prone to failing first.....
How about a converter for the 4L80E....what do they run price wise......?

oh ok. i would get a 4l80 and rebuild it and a good shift kit then, the main problem you see bc of the spray is the input shaft. most people want to run a billet shaft with the spray. ill be running 150shot with the stock shaft.

by the time you do rebuilt kit/shift kit/billet shaft/good stall. your not that far off from having a fully built unit. plus you have to add in labor for whatever shop does the work.
iv seen billet shafts go for 300-600

If I get the billet input shaft and shift kit ill be under $1,000....$900 stall.....then Lashway can do the tranny swap. They've done 4L80E swaps in Fbodys.
I figure $2,500 for everything.
I just can't buy a $4-5,000 Jakes tranny yet, plus the $900 stall and labor for the swap. Over $6,000.
Just need something that'll hold up good for 6 months with 600 RWHP.

It will definitely hold that, my buddy has been running a stock 4l80e with the trans-go shift kit and a 3600 stall in his 95 TA for 2 years now, its a 383ci LT1 with full bolt ons, AI 200cc heads, custom cam, intake and a 200 shot! Hes went a best of 9.93 this past year with it no problems whatsoever! This will be his third season on it, I think he gave $300 for it too! He drives it to the track(45min. away) pulling a small trailer will his drag radials, some tools, and bicycle, it really turns some heads until he makes his first pass lol! Heres a link to a pass at the kyhosrepower shootout last fall which was like a hour and a half drive away!

My 390ci on spray will have about that same power as he has I guess.
Yea, I'm gonna go 4L80E for sure. Talking to someone now about building it for me.
