I call BS on the abuse comment. Chuck sold me one, and Vince said if I ever break it he'll fix it. Vince is even aware at my record for breaking ****. I know I dont have the horspower, but I do have the bad luck and ability to completely destroy an nvil with a ping pong ball (you should see what I can do with a golf ball)

LOL on that, But just to clear things up here we know what the level 5 can handle using Eric's truck as our R&D tool. We've learned at 600rwhp in a truck it starts to become a risk that anything could happen and it usually does at some point and time. So with that being said we don't like to recommend this trans in a truck making 500rwhp or more. At that point we feel your better off with the more stronger/proven 4L80E that you can beat the out of and we promote it. We are currently working on some upgraded hard parts for the new 4L70E which will work in the 65/60E tran's as well, so were not throwing in the towel on how far we can go with this trans yet.

Mark,

No I have not, Besides I need to wait for the software/controller to come out before I can run them on our dyno.
