How much horsepower can my tranny handle?
Do you guys know how much horsepower a 4T60-E transmission can handle? Because there are a lot of things I want to do with my 92 bonne and I need all the specs I can get so I don't blow the tranny.

Well, I'm assuming your SSE isn't Supercharged, so until you do something drastic like add a turbo or aftermarket SC, you don't really have alot to worry about other than normal wear and tear failure from the miles on it.

The reason I was asking because I have a plan of doing alot of modding in the next year or so. I mean heavily modding the car. I have looked up new camshafts, and everything you can think of without using a turbo or supercharger. Upgrading the injectors, fuel pump, heads and bearings you know all that good stuff.

if you keep it N/A, i dont think you will be able to put out enough low end torque to butcher your tranny without a poweradder or nitrous.. However, when you start making more power, you will probably start doing some tire spinning, and your differentail will suffer greatly, without an LSD unit

If your staying n/a and not reving high, you should be alright.
I've read that the transmission pump in the 4t60 maxes out it'* efficiency at 5700 rpm.
Since your a L27, your not going to want to be revving too high anyways.
Granted, more power will wear your trans faster but it'* not going to kill it real fast.
Just be nice to it and don't do any one wheeler pealers.

You don't need an LSD. Every Bonneville here can lay two black stripes in a straight line burnout. The only people that need an LSD are hard-core dragstrip hounds or road course racers.
Spend the $700-$1000 on a shift kit and performance rebuild with heavy duty diff instead.

Well I am not a die hard burnout king only when it comes to Honda civics that is the only time.lol So I won't need an lsd or a shift kit if I am easy on it all the time?
