hey man, I believed you then My brother had an LT-1 with just long tubes and Y-pipe that ran 13.4x@100mph like clock work. Problem is, even with his less-than 300whp, he chewed up those 4L60-E trannies like a dog eating peanut butter. He bust like 3 in 8 month inervals. He even had the convertor re-stalled, B&M shift kit, and Kevlar clutchs.

I think twice he cracked the forward clutch drum.

Just cause I rock the socks off a neon, doesn't mean I'm one diamental. I started in a fox 5.0 5-speed. Did motor swaps, blowers etc. My brother thought me how slow 94-95 mustangs were, then after it got repo'd the 3rd time he got a 95' camaro and show'd me "chevy power" and how to spend 4 hours doing spark plugs. Then I built a hybrid turbo civic, which had nitrous for a year before going turbo. And then I needed a new car b/c my POS auto focus was about to come apart in 10 different ways. Got a great deal on the neon, and I'm like one of the only 2-3 people in the country to run 11's on the stock turbo without nitrous.

BUT... The "my-LT-1" is pretty fast from a dig, from what I've seen/heard. I just couldn't live with the 4L60-E. One of the reasons I bought the SRT4 was b/c I knew I could make good power, and I knew it had an almost bullet-proof drivetrain. I'm good with motors, but HATE drivetrain stuff...

You going to something upgraded or just a rebuild ? My brother was paying about $1000 a rebuild, but he didn't have any hook-ups....

My motor mount really was snapped that night. Its like the 5th time I've broken that bolt...

Ramble off....
