    I have wasted my 460 3 times already and the last time it was buillt it had the servos,precision t/c with a 2000 stall kevlar band and much more. i don't know what to do anymore, i was thinking of doing a 460-480 swap but i have heard of the 460's holding up.

    With that kind of power, the 60e should hold up.

    Its the weight that has you at the disadvantage and kills the 60e. Beef up!

    i was told it would hold up but i really don't think they are putting the weight factor in it. the 3 piece 22" asanti's wheels are heavy, i also have 3 12'subs and a diablo lambo door kit. those hinges are 50lbs a piece also then the turbo kit upfront was about another 100lbs of weight with piping and intercooler and tranny cooler. i have heard mixed things that it will hold and won't hold. i might just beef up to a 480 and not have any worries about it anymore

    Don't forget the L.

    Servos do as much or more for feel than for strength. Shift kits are for feel. Torque converters are for acceleration.

    Strength parts are input housings, output shafts, input shafts, planetaries, etc.

    yea i have had all that done also... i'll have to look up all what has been done. my tranny guy just retired after over 25 yrs in the biz and moved to north carolina. he said the only thing to do after is to go to a bigger trans cause he did all he could do to it.of course i'm not the expert but he did come highly recommended by quite a few people here where i live

    Are you launching hard in 4wd mode ? cause that will break a tranny.
    2002 Tahoe 4.8 - soon to be turbo'd - SOLD
    1989 Mustang - LX Vert - 351W-TT - 2inches of dust covering it
