What are the limits of the 4L65E?
 
I am curious about this, because I don't want to have to do the 80E upgrade anytime soon.

the 65E's work well into the 12's in the silverado SS's with race weight around 5400-5500. they aren't magic, but they are considerably better than the 60E's.

Id like to hear others opinions on this as well. If what zippy says is more or less reasonable I am happy with that! My truck wont ever see 12's :cry:

Well before I blew up my motor :cry: :bang: I was hitting a 150 shot off the line quite a few times and my 4L65E is still holding up really well.

When it comes to tranny's, if Zippy says it you can swear by it!

Not trying to jack the thread, but what could a 4l60e take in a RC? 13s?

with the correct shift kit parts i think it could take you there fine. there is an abuse factor involved, but it certainly should be able to handle it.

This is a little off topic but how did you blow your motor. ( hint: I plan on spraying a 150 rwhp shot soon.)

where did you guys get your 65E, are they stock ones or a little beefed up?
