From what I've researched.....for a 60e to hold real power 500+ rwhp it needs to be done right. I would get a top-of-the-line product or look at a different model........Not that I doubt you abilities in any way. Good luck on the decision.

it's a pretty bold quote to claim that it is stronger and cheaper than performabuilt and FLT with no evidence. i dont think it steps on sponsor toes to mention a name. who is it?

performabuilt has held my 600+RWHP setup for a long time now. ive seen them hold more. the same goes for FLT.

65E, with the correct parts, will hold pretty good for a while....

dont do like me and go through 6 or 7 stock transmissions before you bite the bullet and get a real trans. its WAY WAY WAY cheaper to do it right the first time. mine were all under gm warranty though

My tranny went out on my burban and I got a rebuilt hardened 60e from a company that didn't do the whole core thing...now my stock 60e is sitting in my garage waiting for me to get the time to try and make it a 65e...good times

4L80E and be done with it. For the cash your going to shell out for a built 60e you can do it for less going with an 80e and have a trans that will last.

60E's arent going to last behind a heavy powerful truck.
