You can get one made for you that will handle any needs, or do you mean a stock one? There are some people that are having about 450-500rwhp on stock.

Im an Auto LS1 as well, so your saying that a built 4l60e will be able to handle 600+ rwhp and still have an OD? And if so then why would anyone choose to run a TH350 or TH400 and not have OD?

A well built 4l60E can indeed handle that. My buds shop will have a 1200 hp f-body on the track in a few months with a 4l60E & transbrake. He built mine and I have had 10 second passes and street driven, 2 years now with the same tranny.

9's in the 1/4 has been done many times. Try to stay on topic guys, he only asked one question. I didn't see anything about dyno queen stories.

Pro-Built has a customer running 9.36 @ 144.6mph, over 300 passes on the 4L60E before teardown, 2000 Firebird.

Thanks for the Kind words Andy. I am spending a TON of money getting my TA ready for the Build up. I am buying the Turbo here in a couple days. The motor is going to the machine shop prolly this week. Still a bunch of small things needed for the build up.

Yes the shop you are refering to will have an 8 second 4l60e Fbody and it will be my car that will hold the 60e record...hehehe The guys running it are awsome at what they do and wont let me down one bit. Its going to be a great accomplishment when my car built by them runs 8's.

a 4l60 will last as long as the car is LIGHT. Now if its in a 3800# car you're gonna have problems running 9s or 8s.

Can anyone back this, I am wondering... My car weighs in at 3230's, and I am building a motor for it that is going to be over 450RWHP/RWTQ. I just blew something inside my current 4L60E and need it rebuilt. Some people are telling me to go to a 4L80E cause mine won't last, but they run trucks..
