thinking hard about doin a 6l80awd setup with the turbo stuff im doing... my question is , will the 6l80e hold up? its going to be using a yank converter most probably, and 373 gears.


its come down to either the 6l80e setup or a 4x4 4l80e setup with a HD2 shift kit and a yank pro truck 3200 converter




what would you decide?

 

i've heard that the 6L80 doesn't hold up well under a great deal of power, especially if it's behind as much power as you'll be putting out.

 

hmmm.. ive been searchin alot on tech and here , and i havent found any threads about big power guys with 6l80's ... im deffinately wanting 4x4 or awd, so its between the 6l80 and 4l80..


my power goals are going to be low... around 470-500......









































on low boost

 

I would wait a little while longer. There is a friend of mine that has a C6 vette pushing over 600 with supercharger here in town and he had to have circle D custom build his trans and it still dont shift right. Give them long enough to get things under control.

 

i would go with a 4l80e with a good converter.

word on the street is that all the big dog tranny builders havent been able to make them last.....yet.


go with the 80e its proven

 

you should watch this video:

stock 6l80 hold 600 lbs tq, between 4x4 and awd I will go with awd its badass. but is up to what you want.
