4L60E Question
Posting for a friend with a 2011 Camaro and a problem. He just dropped a bunch of money on a stout 418 engine with a 2.8 Whipple. The combo makes right at 700 RWHP and almost that much torque, through what used to be his 4L60E trans. Just playing with it on the street, he blew it out on his fourth ride after getting the car back from Vengeance Racing. The actual damage is being assessed as I write this.
Talking to the guys at RPM, things don't sound promising for building a 4L60 that will handle that motor, and switching to a 4L80 requires a lot of sheet metal modification. What am I missing?
