LS1 Speed has their new line of Race Prepped and Extreme Race Prepped Upgraded Transmissions. I've heard some good things about them, but I think they are somewhat new.

Why couldn't chucks Level IV trans hold that? 650 FT Lbs is alot, but i would think it will hold, maybe a once a year re-freshaning is required. Worst case, get a power-glide. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I know Mike Kurtz (Century transmission) does 4L60Es in addition to 200-4Rs. Might want to check his stuff out.

IMO, the FLP level IV will be your best shot at getting a 4L60E to live w/ your power level. Just keep in mind that eventually you do reach the limits of a trans, no matter who builds it.

I looked on FLP's website for the Level IV transmission, but couldn't find it advertised anywhere on there. Does anyone have a link?

My FLP level IV gen II is holding 450rwhp and 500rwtq. I have 28" tires and a 4.10 gear and a 3600 converter.

I have the LS1 speed tranny. I have not raced it yet or really beat on it yet, BUT I WILL SOON. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> It is a little loud and shifts hard, but I guess that is to be expected with the performance variety. It has a 6 month warranty which is respectable. Tom at LS1 speed has been terrific with me so far. I would as of right now recommend it, but the truth is only time will tell. Bear.

I know of a few H/C cars and cam only cars running around w/the Speed Inc's tranny, they beat the hell out of their cars and they hold up fine... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I’ve had my Speed inc tranny since early April. My car sees idle and floor. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> It’s held up well for me. I try and keep my temps under 200 though, I think that helps a lot.

my stocker had held up for 5700 miles of 400rwhp and 2 bottles of nitro... i keep my temps at 170-180

Am I the only one who read his post? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> He said 650 torque, not 400, not even 500, and not once in a while, "every day and twice on Sunday".

Certainly if I had to bet on one it would be the FLP IV, no question, but look, you're talking about double the stock torque, 650 that's SIX HUNDRED FIFTY...everybody got that?? ....lol..... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> ... ok I'll shut up now and wait for the busted tranny post <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

As far as I know there were some refunds made since the transmittions would not hold up.
Maybe there`s been some changes? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

How much $$$?

Does it have OD?

Does it work and feel exactly like a 4L60E?

I'm still up in the air about which tranny to go with and I only have a week to decide.

PM me if you want to know more. This is definitely not the cheap route, but Mike Kurtz probably makes the best 200-4Rs in the country.

It has a 0.67 OD. Actually a smidgen taller than the 0.70 OD in the 4L60E.

I can't compare it to a 4L60E. I was an M6 guy before, but got sick of the breakage issues of having a lot of power with a brutal clutch.
