I love how everyone is going to go "spray 250 to 300." Everyone dismisses this as something simple and easy. It's thrown around as if every motor with a forged part is built for a 300 shot.

If spraying a 250-300 were as easy as a 150 shot, everyone would be doing it...but everyone isn't doing it.

 

I have to agree with you on that one. It's not for the faint of heart to spray 250-300HP n2o and expect most smallblocks to last very long. I won't spray more than 200-225HP unless it's for some cash and then I should be able to get it done with 200HP. Later Clint

 

no different then running high boost. just got to have everything there to support it.

 

yeah ok........


my motor was built as a n20 motor with very close attention to clearences and alot of tricks done to it from my cousin who races his own top dragster i agree 300 shot isnt to be used by everyone but the guys in this post i think are all high end guys dont see any new face's

 

amean94TA...so was everyone else's motor.

Let me ask you something...you want 500 rwhp and then on top of it spray a 300 shot right?

So how do you figure that 4L60E is going to handle that?

 

I don't think it will in my personal opinion but i'm gonna stick with it as long as possible. I've heard tale of people building them with real good and solid racing parts and holding true but i would have to talk to someone that builds them to find out. I have a TH-400 but i would love to keep OD espically when i'm gonna buy a high dollar stall for a 4L60E. That would be money wasted on the stall plus beefing up the TH-400 and switchin it all over to make it work. Also investing in a Gear Benders over drive makes for alot of money. But if i had the money i'd prolly do it cause TH-400's and Th-350 are real good transmissions.

 

Rossler has run in the 8's with a 'vette with his builds of a 4L60E.

 

That's just ballast.

Personally, I like joking with the nitrous guys. You may beat me the first, second, 3rd, 4th, maybe the 5th time, but eventually that bottle runs out.

I'd definately have to run that at the track. I may need a bigger blower though.

 

Wonder what a built 4L60E will cost?

 

From Rossler? You don't wanna know!

 

I didn't think i wanted to, Prolly take a real nice bank loan and then some to bad one of them high priced trannys.

 

Hell one Rossler is cheaper than a few cheaper ones that you have to fix all the time.... you can do it the right way once or the cheap way a few times.

 

They probably run that 4L60E in the vette because a 4L80E will not fit.

I highly doubt they would recommend a 4L60E in cars making 700+ rwhp...even their built ones.

 

What about a 4L65E? Is it better than a 4L80E? Are they any better than the 4L60E?

 

Ohhhh--he told me 3000-3500.
