How deep do I need to get into this 4L80E?
How deep do I need to get into this 4L80E? Hey Everyone,
I removed an LQ4 and 4L80E from a 2004 2wd 2500 silverado work truck. The transmission drove just fine in it when I took it out. The motor is getting ready now... LS9 cam, S480 turbo, deka 80lb inj, stock 317 heads, etc.
what can I do with this to get it to handle the power? I don't really feel like I need to bhild it to handle 1000hp, but ill be making significantly more than a stock LQ4. I read a few posts on junkyard 4L80 transmissions, but this was running fine and I drove it personally... so I wouldn't necessarily consider it a junkyard build.
I dont have a whole lot of experience with 4L80Es. What can I get by with doing to the trans without getting too deep into it for the power?
Going into a 74 camaro.

yes and no. the best way to dual feed it would require disassembly. transgo offers their HD2 kit that sort of accomplishes the same thing, but is done in a sandwich stacked separator plate that "rewires" the hydraulic circuit to do the same thing.
when I first got into turbo LS stuff thats what I did and sometimes the result was great. sometimes it turned out shitty. mushy, erratic shifts, short lifespan etc.
i became so frustrated trying to hold 750hp I went down the rabbit hole and now I build them for a living HA
