You're going to be a 9.xx car and the 4L60E's just don't hold in the single digits no matter who builds them. Just don't be surprised if the transmission doesn't make it through a full season. If it does then consider yourself lucky.

actually...i think there are a couple cars in the 9s with built 4l60e transmissions. however, i agree that the odds are against this feller when it comes to getting a 4l60e to endure any kind of abuse.
i say th400 + transbrake. get an n2o 4k stall and spray the holy hell out of it. spray off the t-brake, spray through the shifts, hell..spray it in the water box too, a built th400 will laugh at you.

contrair my freind we do build a 4l60e that will take over 500 hp and we back it with a years warranty to assure that , I hate when people say a 4l60e wont take it i have built and seen 680 rear wheel with our units and they are still going strong .

500 rwhp. I have no doubts a good 4L60E will last awhile. 700 rwhp + near stock weight is a whole different ball game.

The 4l60e's just arent going to hold the power. You will be better off going 4l80e. Thats what I did.
