You can get TR6's at any autoparts place really. As for power to the stock trans, don't expect it to last much longer honestly. Depends on how much you're spraying of course, but at 300-350'ish to the wheels the stock 60E tends to start wearin pretty fast. Currently I'm working on a homegrown built trans that hopefully will stand up to some serious power

Either way,the stock 60E is not gonna handle it to long.even with no spray they will go sooner or later.Just spray away and get a FLT tranny when it goes IMO

what time would this truck run with the spray, LS6 cam, Longtubes, and a good tune. I'm guessing in the 12's? Anybody spraying more than 150hp? Maybe with some arp rod bolts and head studs with better head gaskets. reason is my buddy is getting a H2 hummer with the 6.0. I need to beat him.

Ive been spraying a 80 shot since around 30k and have 85k on it now, no trans problems yet but I don't just go out a spray it all the time or hot lap it at the track. I usually wait 30-45 mins to allow the trans and engine to cool a bit. With lt's and a ory with a stock tune on 20's Ive run a best of 13.7. Afriend of mine has cam 4.10's and a stall with a 100 shot and I know he's atleast a second or so faster than I am but he hasn't made it to the track yet.

My truck has a 150 shot, with out a window switch, for the last 50K. I don't spray it every day, but I'm up to 143K on my first transmission.
