4l60e, 4l80e, or other? What would be the optimal transmission for a 93 RX7 with an automatic in it? I was thinking either one of the trannys above, but I don't want to break the bank. The engine I plan on getting is making about 450whp on a 6spd at the moment. Any suggestions?
A mildly built 4L60 should handle that pretty easily. If you're going to be adding a power adder down the road something along the lines of a th400 or 4l80 might be the way to go.
If it's a drag only car I'd go with a th400 or a glide.

At the moment the only real plans are to get the pieces together and begin ripping my FD apart in a month or so. I think I may eventually go with a shot of nitrous, but to be honest, I'm not sure. Lets say I play it safe, and say I will go with a 100 wet shot for sure on top of the like 450whp N/A.
What do you recommend for that? Should I buy a 4l60e and just build it a little, or go with something heavier?
