I am going to be putting a built 6L(about 500hp at the crank) with a 200 shot of nitrous on top of that and I am wondering if my built 60e is up to it. Here is a list of parts that have been put in it-
29 element sAlto Forward & Low/Rev clutches
Alto 2-4 Band
Alto 3-4 clutch pack, full thickness clutch and steels
Input Drum reinforcement kit
Aluminum accumulator pistons
Beast reaction shell
TransGo plate
HD reaction carrier shaft
High RPM 3-4 spring pack
Hardened Pump rings
all new solenoids and harness
Sonnax check valve
hardened output shaft
gm 5 pinion planetaries
Im sure I have forgotten some stuff but basically everything has been replaced with best of evrything except for a forged output shaft. I will be launching in 4wd so there wont be any slipping to release some of the pressure. I know evreyone is going to say get an 80e but thats not what Im asking. Eventually I may go to a 80e but not right now the engine is going ot take evrything I got for now. Im going to get a window switch so Im not spraying through the shifts I think that will make it a little easier on the tranny. BTW the tci tc is not staying in Im still debating on what to get though.

Yeah I know man I have just spent so much money on it and dont really want to give it up. There are alot of ss guys that have about the same amount of horsepower that are doing fine and I have all the same stuff in mine basically.

Anybody else got an opinion? Mainly what Im concerned about is I know its not going to last for a long time but do you think it will last till say February when I could come up with the money for the swap?
