is the question for built 4l60e trans with any engine built up or specific built engines. because if your asking for a built trans and stock engine you might be in the wrong section and go try general section to see if there is an answer.

On one of our local board there is a member on there saying that a corvette with a 4L60 cannot be very fast because they that cannot hold power.

I know there has to be guys running in the bottom 9's and cutting good 60's with them. I have personally been in the 1.30's but that was in an F-body.

Here is the thread, as you can see he does not think a 4L60e can 60' in the 1.30's...

http://htownracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=54350

BTW, this thread is a roll over from another thread that went way off topic because 1 person say the car is a 5 second ride (1/8th mile) and the brother is saying it was impossible to run in the 5's with a 4L60E...

Marshall Brown (Paint it Black) passed May 10th, 2013 (Rest in Peace) -

The below pic was taken when the Trans was still completely Stock. As a matter of fact, he went 10.51 on it before the shafts were hardened and trans upgraded.
