Damn tranny let go on me for the 2nd time today. 3-4 clutch packs are toast again. Not gonna waste any more $$$ on rebuilding the stock 4L60E b/c its obviously not gonna hold up to the power Im making now, and definitely won't last when I spray it. I'm gonna look into getting an FLP level 4 or Rossler instead.

My friend was putting a new 4l60e in his parents' '96 Astro the other day. They took the old one in to get rebuilt actually, and the guys at the transmission shop wouldn't even rebuild it unless they'd let them use stronger parts and a shift kit because apparently they let go all the time. And that's for a 200hp minivan. Be glad yours held up THIS long.

It hasn't held up this long. This is the 2nd time its went out. 3rd actually, but one of them was because I broke the planitary gears at the track.

You mean it was a kit that could be jetted up to a 300 shot? The most I've ever heard of a stock bottom end LS1 spray was a 200 shot, and that was pushing it.

well... since I only have a 302, please allow me to defer your challenge until I have a 351 - that way the playing field is more level. I don't think I can get there with less cubes.

Now if you want to drop a 305 in your hotrod and go from there...

Awwww come on now.. I may have a few more cubes but LS1s are just dyno queens anyway so it can't be that big of an advantage!

RIGHT... You have a few more cubes than OLE MAN's 340. You failed math didn't you?? You're up about 45 more cubes on me. Drop a 305 in it or wait till I get a 351 in mine.

Yep. Dyno queens... they lay down big numbers on them, but times don't add up once the cars hit the track...


Posted by: skeezix

Hey OLE MAN, how come your runnin' a thermo-junk on there? Weren't they sposed to be a real PITA to tune?

If you say so. Hmmm.. How much hp were you making when you ran that 7.7X 1/8 mile? 325+ wasn't it? I went 11s with only 300 rwhp (7.50s in the 1/8) and I will go 10s with only 400 rwhp in a 3400+ lb car. Would you call that a dyno queen?

I agree that dyno numbers don't mean shit. I can't count how many times I've ran off and left cars (yes including Rustangs :rl making 100+ more hp than me.. All the hp in the world is worthless if you can't get it to the ground. I've never had that problem though.
