Enough with the 6 speed
I have a t-76/ ls1 in a 92 mustang coupe and trying to decide on a transmission. I have a 2000 computer out an SS with a six speed. Can I use a 4l80e with a manual valve body with a 6-speed harness and computer or am limited to a turbo 400. sorry to hijack. thanks

Man Tiago, so many ways to go about it... I know its already been said, but what about a T6060? From what I remember from the limited research Ive done on them, they have a way stronger basis to build off of.
Also, I know this is going to sound just absolutely retarded and kind of ridiculous- ESPECIALLY in this FI section, but why not just turn down the boost so you get into a more manageable power and torque level. I can't imagine 950rwhp feeling too awfully slow. And hell, if you can make everything dead reliable at 950, why bother with all the other headaches? Just a thought man. Flame suit on!

I built the motor/setup to be running MORE power, but I never been able to since I keep breaking ****... If I get it to stay together I can push it a little harder, ~1300 rw
Close friend got a 4l80e from a vender on this site.. ******* thing broke every time it was on the trans brake......I would never run this pos tranny! Now he has a t400 in the car, has been in the 8's and wishes he would have get a Power Glide....
Is your friends car a track only car or street/strip? I feel bad for him. That can't have been cheap!

Ummmm you do know that a a 4L80E and a Th400 share 85% of their parts... (except the OD Drum of course).
Mike Brown/ohio boys ran one when his was still a streetcar.....mightymouse....mine....quicksilverad o has a STOCK 80e at 700hp in his truck for 3 years
I also has a PG in my car and now its a stick again....with 1100rwhp and the stick works fine...but if I were to go auto again it will be a Pg...

If you ask me, I would have been using a PG at your level a long time ago. With the proper converter and a trans brake you will kill the Supra's before their race even starts. If you want more top end, gear for it... You make enough power for it not to matter anymore. Especially if you turn the wick up to 1300. Just my .02
