There are too many factors to give a definitive answer, but it is what it is, and it isn't very strong overall, though there are those few people who "got lucky" with them over the years. Slicks won't help make it last, I can tell you that.

Well ****.... ill cross my fingers then and hope for the best. In the mean time ill be on the look out for a strong rear end from the local junk yards. Don't feel like paying a lot of money for a new one when a good strong used one is cheap.

He could also build an 8.8" Ford for it, or go big and get a Dana, etc. Just other ideas. I think for now, yours is the better path. That will surely hold up for awhile.

Here you go Mac.
Built 40L60E in a heavy *** car. If you are breaking one whoever is building it doesn't know what they are doing. They can last with right know how and soak up less power than a 80

No point in spending for the 9 when the 8.8 is so available and capable. That's just me.
I'd prefer the 4L60 over a M6 considering the abuse, but it would really need to be upgraded and from what I've heard, it's not easy to get it right. I'd rather a 200-4r myself, but those aren't cheap and many people are still afraid of them even though they've been used to power some heavy turbo Regals for decades.

The problem with the 8.8 is by the time you get it in the car and upgraded you've spent almost as much as you would on a MWC fab 9. You can buy one of those with the tq arm axles ......everything but a center for $1400 shipped. Find you a used iron cent and some used gears and you can be in one for less than $2k......and be ready for future upgrades.

So my friend wanted to race me and hell i was like aight lets do it, but this kid beat me so bad it wasn't even funny.
2011 Mustang
-3.7 V6, 6-speed with 4.10s
-tune intake
-throttle body
- Makes about 335 to the wheels 350 crank w/ 270 tq.
2002 Camaro SS
-5.7 V8, A4 with 3.25
- 325 Hp to wheels w/ 350 tq
We were at a 20 roll and he was ahead of me when i redlined. So i was like lets try a 50 roll since that worked for the 2008 Gt i beat. Well i got fucked up again. I was a bit closer this time but i redlined ONCE AGAIN. Damn his gears. Im so frustrated about this. Makes me sad lol. I need to upgrade badly lol.
