I know there are many who have seen this, but I just want to share this with those who may not have seen it. The part I have sent you to is kinda deep into the site check the rest out for yourself, good reference on the 65-E tranny capabilities.

That'* crazy! Seems like nothing in the transmission could take the power, save for the differential.

If I'm not mistaken, that'* one of the fastest GTP'* around...

Cheers,
Jeff

If you look into the rest of the site you can download a video of a gp using the first prototype of the posi. The first run sounds awesome the second ends with a crunching sound. I figure all of the tranny can be redone to handle the ab(use) required to make our Bonneville'* fly. I’m going to work on a way to open up possible space in the front fender area so I can get bigger than 8'* in there. Currently my 17x8s rub with Bridgestone 245/45 zr17'*. I want fatter rims and tires. Not necessarily taller but fatter. NO STICKING WAY OUT THE SIDE. Not that theirs anything wrong with the physics of the Mexican lowrider look, but it’* just not my style. Maybe if I make new fenders from glass or carbon fiber. LOL on my current budget it will have to be glass. Well that’* my 0.50cents worth.

the 94 ssei tranny is a 4t60e i believe, which can only handle about as much power as a stock engine. GP owners with the 4t65e-HD which is much better than our car are having problems with blowing transmissions when they get around 270 hp.

I guess its possible to swap out to the 4T80 transmission on our cars now. The 4T80 is the cadillac FWD tranny. It can handle much more power but it is a little heavier. No worries, our cars are too heavy anyhow! I'll try to find more info.
