FLP/FLT has a good following in the b-body crowd, fastest I can think off hand is 11.3 at 122mph in a heavy street Impala stereo and all in the thing on stroker on 225 shot of nitrous. Tranny has been subject to that for a few years now and it gets raced A LOT NA and runs low 12s like that.

The Hp numbers for the units are based around the level 2 which is used in a Impala ss at that HP rating , The numbers for the level 1 and 3 are based on service in customers cars. Mostly F bodies and GTOs ,Just little info, However agreed HP is a subjective question when it comes to handling , The numbers are listed as general guide lines, When a customer calls however and says he has a 450 rwhp car sprayed for instance I will generally guide them to the level 2.
As I said just a gude line for people so they can figure there money, all orders are reveiwed by me and the determination made if its enough trans or not, And if they ordered through the website and I feel its not enough I call and redirect them and explain why.

I'm running a level 1 in my stock LT1 formula, 2 months and it hasn't skipped a beat, is working great even pushing over a 125 hit on it as well. can't beat the customer service either, I would recommend them to anybody!

i can build a 4l60-etransmission that will hold over 2500 hp

a transmission cant be rated by rwhp! CAN NOT....what if a car makes 500 rwhp...and weighs 2800 pounds...not alot of stress...what if a car makes 500 hp and is a truck that weighs 5200 pounds? which ones goana see more punishment?
point made
