I would like to see what you trans pressure look like. I have shift kit and servos. I already burned the 3 and 4 clutchs last Month.

Are you talking about the line pressure settings? If so, my line pressure settings are all stock which is what Performabuilt recomends with there trans. I ran my stock trans for a month with just servos at 8psi but I swapped it out for a level 3 trans before it had time to break.

So we see how long can make last before breaks.

FLT Level V / PI converter.

11.72 @ 115 weighing in at just under 5500lbs using 4 drag radials, 1.60 60's. It would have went faster if I got another run that night I have about a dozen 11 second passes, numerous street "challenges" and alot of spirited driving on ONE FLT level V.

My N/A goals as well.


I put my FLT Level V through a pounding with my old set-up and it lived to talk about it. I recently sent my tranny back to FLT for a refresh since I had some downtime for installing my new motor. Maybe Vince can chime in on what he found during the teardown as the tranny performed flawlessly.

I am going to push around 1000 HP through this FLT level V at this go around. I am planning the 80E conversion however funds are limited after my newest build so the 65E will need to hold through the tuning phase.

I believe 4WD and AWD is more forgiving on the 60e...just my opinion of course...your's and trever1t's are prime examples...
Vince's own words...550hp is about the limit on a Level 5, up to about 5500 #'s...
alot of factors make that estimate fluctuate of course...weight, 2WD, 4WD, AWD, differential set-up & gear, converter, spray, etc.
