Gotta love you silly people who just HAVE to keep their car a secret.

No it won't slow you down after you get it built up. Get more clutch packs, corvette servo, etc etc.

You're certainly not giving us much to go on about how much hp/tq you are running, but the 700R4 and 4L60Es are very capable transmissions when built by the right people/companies...I'm on my 3rd year of beating the crap out of my 4L60E and everytime we service it the pan is clean...There are folks in the 9s with them, just beware of builders who have no idea what they are doing...

All depends on how it is built, like said above. Just beat on it until it breaks, then get it built up.

It was a local guy/shop who's been doing 700s and 4L60s for a long time...Its got 5 gear planetaries front and rear, and a whole ton of stuff that I don't remember (HD shell, Sonnax super servo, twin piston OD apply, etc, etc..)...The company was Dr. Trans in Hanover, PA which has since changed hands, but the builder is still local...He built stuff for me for years and has impressed me everytime...

Just looking ahead when my 4l60e takes a crap. I want to keep it but it won't last forever. Hopefully a long time at least.
