Not sure what let go they will be taking it apart today, as for the converter i am sure that was seated correct the car was on the street for a week before bringing it back for some final tuning and pulley swap that's when the tranny let go. Yours is still hanging in there, good for you says alot about Ted's tunning.

Yea i was planning on a tranny rebuild anyway just came sooner that i wanted. The 4l80e is one option need to do more research on it.

600 to the wheels is not enough i am closer to 700, i hear alot of the tranny guys say that the 6l80 will not hold for long after 600 to the wheels no matter what you do to it, wondering if that's true.
