Just trying to get a feel for what kind of HP people are getting to the ground, safely (so far), with the L99 and 6 speed auto...

What parameters on the transmission did you tweak to make it dependable yet put down the numbers?

I have 537rwhp on my L99 and it is very street friendly......
I have Kooks Headers,Corsa Exhaust,Magnuson Supercharger,ADM CAI,Custom Cam,etc...
I am making that power on 5lbs of boost....
With a change in pulley size to get the boost up it would do around 570rwhp.....

Do you feel comfortable that your trans is going to hold up OK?

pharmd · 11-01-2009, 10:23 PM

about 550rwhp here and no issues with driveline so far (crosses fingers and says a prayer)...probably 6K miles with over 500rwhp

Twin turbos are the route I'm going....Any suggestions on tuning the trans? I probably will go about 6psi. I'm chicken.

I've been told there shouldn't be any trouble with the Transmisson holding this kind of power....
