what trans is it? and are u willing to do it yourself? i have done many, lil bit of a pain but way way cheaper!

FLT makes a badass level 7 4L65E.

Since your in Florida call SUNCOAST Transmissions in FT walton Beach.

They make kits for just about evry trans.

I guarantee they will have a kit to hold the power you want.

They are one of the best Trans companies in the Diesel amrket also,

Their trans hold 1200+ RWHP and 2000+ RWTQ. NUFF SAID!

Oh yeah I forgot suncoast is in FL I'd hit them up first as they may be cheaper since they're local.

look on craigslist, around here there are a ton of shops that advertise rebuild and even beefed up transmissions for our chevys. there pretty cheap and state they have warranties. just a thought

Yup you're going to spend some money...JK just bought a PerformaBuilt for his blown//cam'd 6.0 that holds around 800hp I think? Hit them up

FLT and performabuilt are way to expensive. for what you want they are going to rip you off. there is no need to pay $3k plus for a trans in a stock vehicle. do you really plan to mod to 500hp 600 lb torque? if you are just saying that to get a strong unit? and you can use a 4l65E with no modification.

where in florida are you? there is always a local guy that is good and very well priced. the trick is finding him.

thanks but it be a pain to try and get it down there right know

 

[blueflamed03]

you can have a 60e built into a 65e.

tranny build i might go with

Raybestoes 9 clutches (replaces the factory 5 clutches in the 3-4 drum). The 9 clutches are heat treated steels that withstand more heat, delivering longer transmission life.
* Raybestoes high temp energy clutches throughout the the unit, along with all new steels, bushings, and rings.
* A .500 boost valve (insures nice crisp clean shifting with no delays).
* 4140 hardened pump rings
* Teflon Pump bushing (allows more abuse)
* 10 vane pump rotor
* 29 element sprag
* Sonnax Wide Open Throttle Valve
* Sonnax Sunshell (three times thicker than factory).
* Hardened input shaft and drum.
* Kevlar band
* Corvette servo (has 30% more holding power, giving you full throttle shift with out burning up the band).
* We block off the 1,2,3,4 accumulators to give you a solid, firm, and crisp shift. We discard the springs in the accumulator to eliminate problems associated with springs breaking.


so any comments

 

[blueflamed03]

looks good, good parts, the Sunshell upgrade is HIGHLY suggested. Plus the hardened input shaft.
