Has anyone seen this yet? Got this off of tech and just wondering. Personally, I don't think its possible...

 

$4,800..
Most anything is possible with money.

 

Another hallmark achievement...

...And here come the skeptics

 

dont people throw 1000hp at built 4L60E's all day? thats all a 700R4 is...just the electric version

 

Not really, they step up to a th400, 4L80E or a glide

 

All you have to do to make a transmission endure x # of HP, is figure out what tears up, and strengthen it. Which might take the form of hardened parts here, more clutches there, control system changes somewhere else, bracing something in the case, or any number of other upgrades.

Run it til it breaks; find what broke; make it better; run it til the next thing breaks; find it; make it better; repeat until goal is achieved.

If they were successful in accomplishing that, then there's no reason it COULDN'T handle that much power.

That said, I personally will wait for somebody else to plunk down their money first (lots of somebody elses really), before I bite off on it.

 

I've never heard a good thing about a "raptor" trans

 

I have been waiting for the gear changing 6pinion planets for awhile now.
Also with that many 3-4 clutches added, that should help.
I would buy the parts and have my friend slap it together..

 

the input drum and 6 pinon planets (better gearing) is what iv been looking forward to.. im in

 

For almost 5k I'm sure I can do a 4L80E for less or the 6spd auto even a Viper t56. I love my 700R4 but not for 5k

 

look at there front input drum...$500 bolt together..huuummm..im in

 

im going to pick up almost $1100 in just upgrade parts.
no price yet on the 6 pinon planet..going to call and ask... bet it's over say $800 just for one part..ya wana bet?

 

Those new gear ratios have been out for like 3 years now from PATC. $800? Try $1200. No thanks.

 

called today..it's $1100.00 just the front 6 pinon plantary.
im going to Buy a it. along with a few other parts from them.
about $1700 in just parts. to go with the $600 in parts i just picked up.

this is just better parts. the tranny i have now works Fantastic!!
just want it made stronger, and we will see how they hold up

 

I know a guy who has it on his FX150 Ranger -- he loves it. I don't know what he's got under the hood, but if it works, it works. He goes to Johnny Winters here in Florida for all his race transmissions, can't think that he wouldn't know what he was getting himself in for before buying a Raptor.
