Planetaries are not common in the country of Texas.....that's why I say 65's are way overrated over 60's. Sunshells were a problem on 97-01 models. 05-07's blow the sprag. ALL of them like to kill 3-4 clutches and other smaller things.

I have always heard the stock units are good to 350 ft/lb tq. TH400 is dependable to 400 ft/lb tq. Beyond that you better have them built up for more power.

Havnt taken mine apart yet but Im guessin i had about 350 to 375whp with the tune I had. Tranny had 40k on it out of 00 camaro and my 2nd gear seems to be somewhat out now after one trip to the track. Im gonna rebuild with better internals and see where that gets me.
