Vince built some tough units. I had a level 4 60e last 2 yrs being abused by 5000lbs and over 500hp nitrous 408. That unit was rebuilt and is still behind a 408 3 yrs later. The 80e level 4 he built also lasted over 2yrs behind 800 plus hp and outlived my buddies level 5 FLT and jakes best one. The builder matters alot with either tranny.

Parish had an 80e and 4wd years ago. He beat the ever living **** put of it and never had any issues.

I believe stock48 has an 80e and 4x4 as well as Atomic.
