I think its just luck, but having a good tranny cooler helps it out a whole lot, also people with real low drops seem to be the ones that go,out faster.... but my question is, why go to an 80e? Wont you think a well built 60e will handle good.enough?

I know of a 04 SS awd that has gone 11.10@12x mph on stock tranny with transgo shift kit. I dont know how in the hell it holds up a lot cus it been many times in the low 11s and doesnt drive it easy on the street. I believe his mods were 408 tfs heads, big cam nitrous, big stall

My first 60e went out (burned the 3-4 clutches) because of a crap tuner (wait4me) who removed 100% of the tq mgmt (I requested 50%) and I only had CAI and muffler on the truck at the time. Rebuilt it under warranty at 58k, threw a vette servo in, and 40k cooler & hd2 shift kit when I put the blower on 10k ago, hasn't missed a beat at 114k now, shifts great. I have a Sonnax billet OD servo I have been meaning to put in, hopefully soon, to help the holding pressure of the 3-4 clutch pack.

I went 10.8x on a mostly stock 60E only 2,000 original miles on it. Mods were a transgo shift kit, new 3-4 clutch pack, servo, and a 3800rpm stall non-locking torque converter. I have an 80E now finally being built for the first time.

Me personally i would get a built 60e from one of the sponsors since we know they do a good job on them, i know for alot of people its hard to find a reputable tranny builder local, lucky for us in the houston area we have a few good.ones...
