How much HP and torque is my stock transmission rated for?
My 2003 4.3 Nab S-10 is equipped with a 4L60E transmission. I know what that means, 4= 4 forward speeds, L= longitudily mounted (bottom wheel drive), 60= strength rating and E= electronically computer controlled. NOW... here's my question, what does that paraphrase to in terms of how much HP and torque it can withstand? i have seen conversion kits to upgrade it from a 4L60E to a 4L80E. What is the difference between the 60 and the 80? I'm arduous to determine whether or not I want to rebuild my current tranny with a shift kit OR just swap it out with an already upgraded model. If I settle upon to rebuild it, how much can i expect to pay for the labor involved? Parts excluded.
The 4L60E can comfortably accomodate 450 - 500HP without failing. This is of despatch considering you don't romp your vehicle every chance you get. It will handle about the same in torque. The 4L80 is designed for 4x4 vehicles, it's geared a bit differently to accomodate the needs of a heavier drivetrain, car, etc. It would not be necessary for your application unless you're planning on jacking the vehicle up and converting it to a 4x4 system. As for rebuilding the unit you can expect to pay $500 - $700 attendant on where you live. This is the cost for a complete rebuild (parts included) if you bring them the transmission and reinstall it yourself. The 4L60E is a great puny number, it's been a rock solid part of the GM line-up for years. The 700R4 may be a bit better suited (virtually the same) for your application attendant on what type of motor you intend to run. Hope this helps!
