in the world of the 60/65E i figure rossler to the the king and i'd say chuck at FLP is working hard on catching their numbers. 700hp in front of a 60/65E might be done in a 3200LB vehicle, but in a truck at well over 4,000lbs failure will come on a regular basis.

I dont know about 700hp, that may be 4l80e territory. If hes talking about a 65, he should also mension 5 pinion planetaries. Just for reference here is a list of parts in my 65:

* Borg/Warner Low Roller Clutch
* New Bushings
* GM Internal Wiring Harness
* GM Solenoids & Switches
* Gm 5 Pinion Front & Rear Planet Assemblies
* Seals, Gaskets, Filter

* High Performance Output Pump Slide Spring
* Borg/Warner 29 Element Forward Sprag
* Steelx.500 Boost valve
* Wide Red Band, Performance Lining
* "Z" Pack- 15 Element 3-4 Clutches High Performance Application
* "Beast" Heavy Duty Shell w/ Bearings & Wide Bushing in Reaction Gear*
* HP Forward & Overun Clutches
* Borg Warner Low Reverse Clutches
* TransGo HD-2 Shift Kit
* Corvette Servo
* Metal(Aluminum) Accumulator Piston
* TransGo Seperator Plate
* Hardened Pump Rings
* Sonnax 4th Gear "Super Hold" Dual Servo
* Wide sungear bushing

i went to a jag performance 80e and it is working fine. i went thru two 65e built trannies before this one. and i was only putting out 436 hp to the wheels with nos. i think it is a weight thing mostly.

Has any of you had this done out of state, had the tranny shipped, shipped the old one back for core? If so what was shipping and what all was involved?
