How strong was that trans built? What are your end results, how does it feel, and how long and hard have u beat on it?

 

I picked up 5 tenths and 6mph leaving off of 1psi vs the M6. Not really built that much better than stock. HD clutchs and bands was it. Just freshend it up because my good friend builds trans and he was putting the Tbrake in it. The trans from salvage yard had 86000 miles on it. When we took it apart the clutchs and bands looked great but we were already there. So we freshed it up.

 

I will look into a junkyard 80e and put new cluthes and a shift kit. I hope that should be enough to hold my 600hp for a while. Do you think I could get by with a stock 80e convertor for awhile till I can get one like yours? Hows that stall wrking for you on the street and strip? Might get a t-brake to while I'm at it when I put a better convertor.

 

here is video of my car first time at the track with l80 with Tbrake in 1000ft track.
leaving off 1psi

Here is a video leaving off of full throttle with 26 X10.50's 3.50 rear gear Mickey slicks

 

oh 750rwh and 750rwt.

 

Damn not to bad at all. Where can I get one of those adapter harnesses and a crossmember from?

 

Yank has the crossmember, or I have mine still (Yank) , adapter harness is made by a local person that build them.

 

What do these cost? I need my car, I love boost!

 

YC 106 http://www.converter.cc/crossmembers/ it's 195 plus shipping. I would do mine for 150.00 shipped.

 

powerglide =)

 

The one for the 4l60e does that move the stock torque arm off of the trans or is it just a aftermarket adjustable torque arm?

 

You can buy it with or without TQ arm mount. Anyone that has had a body mount tq arm IMO will not buy another one for street use.

 

Why is that?

 

I was asking for budget purposes. Like to buy the mount to move the torque arm off of the trans and then buy the torque arm. I'm a broke bitch, the navy is a stingy boss. I really want to get the torque arm off of the transmission but I dont want to fork over 500 or so bucks to get it done. That 150 looks alot nicer

 

BMR makes them as well.

 

at those levels I wouldn't even **** around with another **** ant 4l60e.

Get a crossmember with the tq arm mount and keep your eyes peeled for a pull out 2002+ 4l80e. I've seen 3 of them on craigslist in the past 4 months go for 4-500 bucks in working condition. FWIW I had a spohn tq arm and mount on my t56 iroc, with a spherical rod end. Made a little noise but drove great.

 

I have my little 4l60e at FLT right now. Vince is upgrading it to a level 5 4l65e with a trans brake. He has plenty of 10sec and a few 9 sec level 5s running around. If i had the funds for a fully built 4l80e i would have gone that route. But for the cost u cant beat it.

 

I will start looking for a used 80e to build up. Mine as well do it right this time. More down time and more bummed rides, but hey.

 

That really sucks about your tranny taking a dump on you man, I felt pretty bad for you, hearing you tell me about all the work you had done to your car. I hope it all goes well in finding a good replacement. In the mean time though, if you do need a ride somewhere or anything like that, don't be afraid to call and ask.

BTW, that was a pretty damn fun night though! Hearing that turbo spool up was like music to my ears!

 

Yeah it sucks but hey like I say, you have to pay to play.
A replacement is being tracked down. 4l80e it is, going to be built tough, hopefully my last for awhile.

Will do, and that night was fun doing 180mph with the windows down and the t-tops off, wow!! I cant get enough.
