Of coarse this is with "extensive" modifications too mind you.

87-91 Bonnevilles had the 4T60, 92-96/97 had the 4T60-E & the 97+ had the 4T65-E.

sorry for stealing the thread but...what is my tranny called in my 88le. it just says metric hydramatic div. of gmc on the pan. back to the topic...your stock tranny was made for being a grocery getter and not hot rodding so i'd say only 50 or so hp over stock but i dunno.
