Default Trans issues

Believe the trans in my 05 c6 went out.

background on the car, 408 stroker, v7 ysi 3.47 pulley on secondary drive.

goal is 850whp on e85.

are there any trans swaps you can do, 4l80e etc.

Looking at a rpm level x 4l65e. They quoted almost 20k for a glide and 9” conversion.

my question is, any swaps available for these autos, or what kind of life can I expect out of a level x 4l65e. Will it survive occasional racing at 850whp, what about 950whp?

i should’ve got a manual

These guys will build you a tranny that will hold the power and spec/build the converter based on your needs.
Check out their reviews on sm as well...not cheap but excellent reputation and quality of work.
