ill go look at the truck see if i have the 65e.. so you think it can be done with the amount of money im working with?

 

If you have ever done anything right to save yourself headaches, time, money, and frustration, do the swap to the 4l80e now. Last year I had my truck about 6 weeks out of the year because the 60's are way to week with these horsepower levels and weight. I did all the work myself. It is not challenging or difficult work, just time consuming. But you will save more time doing it once than doing it once every 6 weeks. BTW your local builder more than likely will not warranty your tranny because of your mods.

 

do the 4l80e swap now. it will actually save you time and money in the long run. ask me im payin for it now.. i have over 4k wrapped up in a 4l60e now. i should have done it right the first time and had a nice 4l80e

 

I have an FLT .. I don't think it would hurt you to talk to Chuck, Vince, or Andy @ FLT.

 

You may have a 4L70 in there. FLT has the 4L70 maximum performance out now with billet input and output shafts.

 

ok so i found a tranny shop here in orlando says he does some work for guys who race out at the track i go to... come to find out i have 4l65e trans.. hes going to rebuild it with all high performance parts hdtransgo stage 2 corvette servos the whole works with a converter 3000rpm stall for 2200$ out the door.. did i get a good deal or no?

 

that price is average. good luck with it. I hope he gives you a long warranty or that he can deny what is to come like only one or two have ever been able to do....

 

shesh are these trans that bad? he said it would hold.. he rated it up to 600 hp mines only pushing 463.. i dont really plan on anymore mods anytime soon... warranty kinda sucks 12mnths 12,000 miles

 

I went threw five of the strongest ones made last year by two different manufactuers. do a search and you will find that it is the worst gm engineering decision made. If your tranny builder gave you a horsepower rating on it I would beware. There are more factors that determine if a transmission can hold than just a horsepower rating.

 

there's some weak parts inside the tranny. . that need the Best parts out there . . make sure. you ask ur tranny guys.. top of line parts/.
