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

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’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.

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" />

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.
