Everyone's cars may be in pieces now but they still look good at least. And covered with months of dust.

I think you said it best when you said....."you have the dirtiest car out of anyone i know" I couldn't disagree either.

waste of money for 160 deg stat! lowers coolant temp but oil temps go up! friends shop car with full computer management everywhere sensors on everything! oil temps went up 20 degs with 160 deg stat he found that 180 was best!

Ohk thanks for saving me 50 bucks, and yea i've been researching and some said that the 180 is the sweet spot for these cars. And I passed by you when you were leaving the track yesterday.

can you build a 4l60? yes and will it work? yes but it wont last when your making 500-600+ whp its a lot easier for a 330-450whp cars to handle it. So why was you money and just go 4l80 and never look back. Sorry Ive just seen to many people throw away money to 4l60's they could of had 3 4l80s built for what they put in there 4l60s.

Can't say I 100% agree on this. The 60 has design flaws and limiting factors but can be built really well, it just takes a special person to do it. If you are saying the average Joe cannot rebuild and make a 60 last at 5-600 hp levels then i would probably agree. I think I recall some other posts by you downing the 60. Are you a 60 hater? Do you just hate autos in general? Whats really going on with your hatred towards this transmission?



Just bustin your *****.

i love auto! i love manuals! When i go turbo i will be going auto. Ive just seen way way to many people and big name shops try on big name trans not local stuff. Then then go 4l80 and wish they never wasted the money trying to get the 4l60. So Yes i am a 4l60 hater! like i said will it work yes but its not going to last

I was doing some research on the 4l80 swap last night when I got home, and I may end up going that route.

Thanks for the pics!

Nothing different, other than gear ratio, if applicable. I'd hate to know if the 10 bolt was a performance upgrade from the V6's.
