Where to take tranny(tbss)?
I want to install a cam in the tbss but know the tranny will crap out soon afterwords. I called circle d but was told $2k+any hard parts. Just wanting a tranny built to handle around 500hp. With a total of tranny and cam running me anywhere from $3-$4k it really doesn't seem worth it.
Any suggestions on options or other shops?

Talked to circle d but was told it was $2k plus and hard parts, up to $2900. I only plan a cam now so paying a total price of $3-$4k doesn't sound too appealing. I really just want something that can handle 400ish rwhp for now and if I decide to build a motor I'll get a new tranny then. The last thing I want is the wife bitching because her truck breaks down.
I tried century yesterday but wasn't able to get a quote. I'll call back in a few minutes.

BTW do you guys offer ECU settings for your trans? Either a HP Tuners / EFI Live file or just table values I can cut & paste?

I don't care what kind of upgrades you do to the 4L60 its gonna crap out on you at some point in time. They were just not designed with enough strength. I have been through a crap load. if your gonna do anything I would put money toward a conversion, like a 4L80. Any transmission might give out on you but I built a bulletproof transmission that was $4K just in parts no labor and it would find some reason to be pulled back out. Just my $.02
