Default Hopefully a simple 2006 SS Tranny Question

Just curious as to how much power these things can take before blowing to bits.

They are already just about maxed out on the stock LS4

It's the same 4t65e-HD as the L67 powered Montes got, and we know that 300HP is their max

How you drive, how you care for your car, everything matters. But in the end it all comes down to luck with these Transmissions

Eek, well. That sucks.

Good thing I'm not too vicious on the gas pedal. Well, I am...but uh. I won't be any more.

Yea, you won't get much more out of the stock tranny than you already are. The transmissions in these cars are probably one of the weakest links. I hate to say it, but the 06/07 SS's with the LS4 seem to eat through these transmissions even worse.
