I talked to Vince the other day and he said the intermediate clutch was toast.

Parish was over 1000 RWHP and drove his truck a lot harder than I will drive mine. He had NO problems in the two plus years he had his built 80 in it. I am 1300lbs heavier.
I have complete faith in Finishline Transmissions.

I don't think he really has to worry about being at the point of killing the 4L80E from too much power yet. Like we had discussed before it was likely just a part failure. As most of us on here know, even the best most expensive parts can fail.
