Default looking for a 4l60e

whats the best bet for a 4l60e transmission?

i am currently very interested in the FLP (finish line) transmission. i have tried to get ahold of them today with no luck. any information on them?


basically i bought a transmission from a shop in florida, it was supposed to hold 550 flywheel hp, it messed up with only 289 going through it... the 3/4 gears dont work they slip horribly. so i am doing this right and trying to find a transmission to purchase. i will be having a shop install it and i am trying to have the transmission just ordered by them and delivered to them.


does anyone on here have any suggestions to the best choice for a 460e to hold around 500-650hp? i am hoping to push about 550 when my car is done here soon.

I wouldn't do TCI personally, they are a sponsor here so I won't bash them. I think there are better choices to be had.

you get what you pay for for the most part when it comes to 4l60's. dont be afraid to spend a little extra dough, especially if your car is a daily driver

Chuck and I went to hot rod drag week today in mich. US 131 drag way. We have a couple of cars running our transmissions that are in the running to win the event. I just got home and read your post. Chuck will return your call tomorrow I have already spoken to him. We always return our calls within one day and also respond to our pms as well. I will not be in tomorrow because I am going to the finals. Once again sorry for not being there but I need a day every now again off. Sorry for the delay! Vince.

These guys stay busy. That's a good thing, it's better then knowing that you can call them any time of any day they would just be sitting around with nothing to do...
