Default FLP 4L60E Owners

How much horsepower and torque are you putting through your trannies? Even more interested in you nitrous junkies ;) Any problems and how long has it held up? TIA.

I have my FLP tranny the third season now.
Did an oil change every year (though it was still clear!!).
That´s all.

I did run my car on the highway at high speeds very often and the most power I put through it was about 800+ crank hp (300 shot).

No problems, yet!!

Can't k specifically for FLP but my rebuilt East Coast transmission has many of the same HD parts and a few more...No problems ..With the right parts these transmissions will take a beating..Keep the oil cool and clean and you should be problem free..:D

I have one, and it's held up to the 504 rwhp my car is making now, plan on spraying at least 250 this summer.Never heard anything bad about them.

Can't answer you specifically but mine is on the way to Agostino (ARE) as we speak :D I have yet to see one break to be honest. I see 450++ rwhp NA cars put an additional 300 shot of nitrous on it without any issues :D This tranny is on many 500++++ rwhp cars without ever an issue. Sorry can't get specific other than the examples I know of :D Good luck. Probably the best tranny out there.
:iagree: I had mine in my heads/cam car for 10K plus miles without any issues. THE FLP TRANNY is AWESOME and i have 100% confidence that it will hold my new 427 stroker power like a champ. I estimate around 480rwhp and 500 rwtq is what i expect out of my new MTI 427 (thru my FLP Level IV A4 Tranny).

Best of Luck,

MTI 427 Roadster

415 GOOSE:

How many miles do you have on your FLP thru you 415 ironblock stroker?

What rpms does your tranny shift at during WOT shifts on the 1/2 and 2/3 shift. Where's your rev limiter set at and do you have any problems with smacking the rev limiter on WOT launches?

Thanks,

MTI 427 ROadster f/k/a Nitrovette
