sucks you had bad luck. my 60e never broke a hard part with 441 rwhp N/A and a 150shot. ran 11.5 and never drove on anything but slicks and drag radials. clutches on the other hand

had to replace them a few times

so now i have a built 65e with a 4600 converter and a trans brake hahahaha.

Man i was talking to my tranny guy bout a brake on the 60e he pretty much said it will grenade. I thought if we did the sonnex input it would hold but it's def a gamble.

No way I would put a brake in a 60e behind a heavy *** truck.

To be fair 426 HP doesnt paint the whole picture... the stress this trans was taking off the line with your low 1.6 60' times was a LOT more than that HP number describes.

If you watch the videos this converter is showing him nowhere near 3400 of flash. Thats one of the bigger problems... but it was built with the huge power of a 200 shot in mind.

Sounds just like what mine is doing!?!? I have a FTI 3200 it will only flash to 2200. Can't figure out what the hell it the problem. I thought it was the first converter I had which was a YANK PRO TRUCK 3200. But put the FTI 3200 in there and it is doing the same thing. Putting a tru trac and a set of 4.10 in very soon. But my set up is. Stock bottom end 5.3 fully ported heads 216/220 560/560-114 lsa.
