Hi Everyone!!!
3 years ago I leased a Mini hardtop JCW comes 228hp after one month was 300hp.
Love it. Not that lease is ending I would love to, make my 2005 Silverado ECLB as fast as Mini maybe faster if possible without changing heads and Bottom end.
Mini did 13.55 at 107mph not bad for FWD.
Was wondering and already started reading all the posts.
Which way should I go.
I do have stock 4l60e and G80 rear end at 4.10 gearing.
Was thinking Cam and remote turbo.
Already got all the unnecessary weight off, lol
And Help will be highly appreciated even pointing in to right section of the forum will Help a lot.
Do have some mechanical skills, bit welding, Carbo Fiber

Thank you in advance

Is it worth building 4l60e ??
Monster transmissions has kits
Few other places have them
Is it going to be ok with 500hp? 550hp rated

 

I loved my tailpipe turbo back in the day! It was fun. Still have it in storage. A 4l60 is very risky and to be honest its just a matter of time even built before it gives up with 500 whp and a big truck.

 

Thank you Z06 Ted,

I will then go with Universal STS kit with separate oil tank and a pump.
You know it better then I do, I like the clean look under the hood.
Maybe little lag but in my opinion less work.
I will be also changing heads ( so no headers change for a year )
Tranny I hear you, but by the time I get to 500 whp, Built by me 4l60e should last a year.
Monster Transmissions sells that kit which should handle 650hp.
Giving myself 100hp extra.
When I achieve 500whp then built 4l80 will go in place.
Also I don't do drag strip none around me so this only for Daily Driving.
It's my lumber hauler lol

Thank you
