Default How much hp/torq can the stock 4l60e handle?

I lost my 2nd gear after only 10days of having my magnacharger on. The tranny had less than 3000 miles on it.

well with my procharger mine lasted a little less than that.
Answer Not much at all
Which Magnacharger kit do you have ?
Do you have the intercooled one ?
what else do you have done to your truck ?

oh, and my magnacharger is not intercooled, that kit came out shortly after I installed mine, I had no idea it was coming out or I would have waited for the intercooled one.

I am going to have the tranny built by Phoenix Trans in Weatherford,Tx. and use a Yank 3000 converter. I hope to see a big difference.
