Falcon YEL-57 - Feature Cars Australia this is some pics from a few years ago before putting a 1200 hp nizpro motor , bigger intercooler , turbo and process west plenum and 1600 cc injectors and was running a powerglide with transbrake in which never had a problem until i tried these gearboxes , saw power figures of 800 at tyres on pump fuel , 1000 at tyres on race fuel but was running a moderate tune for street 550 at tyres ..... ran a 10.03 down strip ...... motor and turbo detonated first drive back after number 4 , getting it back from rvo ute has been off road for 2 1/2 years from fitting first box ....not happy worst decision i have ever made should have stuck with the indestructible 2 speed if you go onto ebay and look at rvo 4l60e 800 hp xr6turbo you will see a pic of my engine bay in which i have asked him to remove for i want nothing to do with that company ..... i just want to know if there are any others out there i know there are as i have spoken to a couple of you who have also destroyed these boxes with less power than mine was making

I too have had similar problems. We purchased a 1000hp rated 4l60e transmission. I drove the car about 7km, the transmission failed and we only had the 450rwhp engine in it at that time. Had to get the car put on a tilt tray to be taken back to our workshop. We sent the transmission back for warranty and they blamed it on the incorrect flexplate or converter being used, he must have forgotten they supplied both of those parts with the box. 3years later I still have no transmission and over $6000 out of pocket.
