10 Second Club - 10 sec cars what transmissions and converters are you running

ive had serious trans builder problems this will be number 3 down the tubes . lets put it this way my stock trans took a 200 shot for two years of serious abuse and the built transmssions ive had dont last 100 miles with out nos So i want to know what transmissions the 10 sec club are running , i drive my car on the streets and at the track every so often , ive seen very streetable 10 sec cars so who built the trans you are running and what trans are you running , this includes what torque converter i know this is a trans issue but i want to ask a specific group about there cars thanks

FLT Level IV with vacuum modulator and Circle D 5C converter. I drive the car to and from the track. The trans has about 10K miles and 30 track runs with no problems. I just bought the converter last year and so far it has been flawless.

I built my trans, similar ingredients as FLT and Performabuilt use, Vig2800, with a 28k cooler. It's about as beefy as a tranny with stock input/output shafts and planetaries can be. It has about 15k miles and about 200 passes without any issues. I haven't changed the fluid yet, but will be draining and dropping the pan soon to change the filter and see how the inside of the pan looks. Last season it was making around 500rwhp. I dyno'd it last weekend and it put down 643rwhp with the changes I've made for this season. I'm still waiting on suspension parts before it goes down the track again.

i would go FLT...vince will hook you up...

oh for shits and giggles SS4000 converter and stock 4l60E with red alto bands

Rebuilt 4L60E w/shift kit in early '06, but got it refreshend last year with an upgrade to 4L65E specs from a local tranny builder. Many N/A passes, many bottle refills with about 7000 miles on the refreshened tranny. H/C, N20 and a Pro Edge 4000 stall.

Chuck, before looking for another tranny builder, check and make sure it's not tuning related: Deleting P0751 and/or P0757 codes, replacing the vehicle speed sensor (even if you don't need it). Those items can make your tranny go haywire (not shifting, etc) with a higher stall.

ive been thinking flt trans and circle d converter just want to see what some of the big dogs are running i just put in my moser 9 inch and am going to have the engine stroked to a 383 and put trick flo heads and a vindicator cam and probably pump a 200 shot in it as well , hopefully ill make 10s keep the info coming

another vote for FLT,i know its not a 10 second pass but if i got 1 more run in that night i would of got my 10 second slip......11.08@121 with a 1.48 60' with 407 rwhp on straightlines mustang dyno.

FLT & do it once!

look @ YANK verters too........our pt4000 is awesome.

good luck !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had someone local do mine, it is basically a bunch of Rossler parts with upgraded clutches and steels. The guy/shop who built it has a great rep for keeping 4L60E's together in fast cars. My converter is all wrong, but is getting the job done for now. I run an old, (bought in 99') SY3500 converter.

I have over 6K miles on my transmission, I daily drove the car for about 5 months while I fixed my 91'. I only have 13 "track" passes due to the weak link out back. (AKA - the 10 bolt) The transmission has been flawless though, I am extremely happy.

Here is my old set up PERFORMABUILT 4L6OE LV2. ran several low 10 sec passes with a 3500 stall full weight car with aircondition.

My old set up w/ 4l60e tranny had over 300 passes on it most of them nitrous passes pull mid 1.40 60fts. I change set up in my TA and the first person I called was FRANK @ bPERFORMABUILT to build me a BAD T400 he said no problem had it shipped in a week. thats customer service. I gave my brother my 4l60E for his drag car/daily driver camaro hes smoking people weekly at the track. NOW THATS WHAT I CALL A DAM GOOD TRANNY ITS ON ITS 3rd year and has been ripped to shit and it still going no problems top that. PM me if you have any other questions

I have a local built th-400 that is warrantied for 1 year parts and labor even with me racing the car. I also went with a Circle-D converter.

I am currently running a Performabuilt level 2 tranny with a Yank 3600SS convertor. This combo hits hard at WOT but is civilized enough for my daily driver. Like this combo alot.
I only spray (125 shot) at the track and this has held up well. Frank offers Good Cstomer service on his trannys.

Bone Stock 4L80E from a 2002 Savana 2500 with 53 miles on it $900, line pressures and shifts modified with HP Tuners and a vig 4500 stall

well everyone looks to be running auto's, but i'm running a stock t56 with a tdp clutch. on a 1.55 60' turned a 10.7@128

I have a local built 4l60E that is warrantied for 2 year parts and labor. I also went with a Circle-D converter restalled 4000 conveter.

TH400 built by me with a circle d converter stalls 4800 on a 150 shot.
my best 60' 1.54 and it yanked the left front tire about a inch car weighs 3000 lbs. i drive it to and from the track.

I payed $200 for a pre 65 trans and put red clutchs and kevlar bands.
total of $400

FLT level 4 4L60 with a Circle D5C

FLT lvl 5 and 3600 Vig converter 3.42 stock rear best 1.471 60"

TH400 built by a local builder and a UCC 9 in converter with a 5200 stall

Rossler TH350 Lockup Tranny, Circle-D 4C lockup converter, HKE 427 All motor 10.002@137 1.37 60'. Never had any problems other than I think it should be faster. The tranny and converter have never missed a step, but replacing because I want a non-lockup tranny and converter.

New setup getting installed in two weeks is a Rossler TH400, Neal Chance 9" 5000 Stall. Same motor...This bitch better go into the 9's

Local guy rebuilt my 4L60E back in 2001. Just had it rebuilt last month because the crappy TCI converter i was talked into trying out let go and ruined the face of the pump.

I have ran P.I.,Yank,TCS and TCI converters with this transmission. I have numerous 10sec. passes with it with a best of 10.58@126. Now i have a fresh 4L60E with a new Yank SS4000 :D. Time to see what the new setup can handle. If your big on dyno numbers im roughly around the 500rwhp mark but i don't dyno race. Dynoed 447rwhp on a mustang dyno with the converter unlocked with the old setup 2 years ago with 200 miles on the motor.

4l65e trans go kit....3800 yank...10.77....1.627 60ft...look'n 2 better my 60ft..
maybe 10.5 woweeeeeee!!!!!.....look out mom ma!!..:shocked::shocked::naughty::naughty::eek::ee k::smokin2::poke:

Since i was on a tight budget I gave up overdrive and went with a reverse pattern full manual PTC th350 and PTC SS3600 that I eventually had restalled for nitrous(bout 3200 now)

No regrets :)

Stock trans.... FTI 3800.

th350 from ptc and a 10in ptc converter 1.36 60ft leaving off a 175 shot 10.06 . I miss the overdrive sometimes but its not to bad .

I have a locally built th400 with a bte 3000 stall converter. I'm probably going to be getting a circle D converter that will stall around 4000 - 4200 on the brake. I have bigger ideas for the future so I figured I might as well just do the trans once and not have to worry about it.
