I haven't come back to the thread.
Powell raceshop would be a good starting point, they've gone pretty far on cobalts. ZZP also has pretty strong automatics they use in the GTP's, so i'd ask them as well.
There, better?
The point of my post, since it was obviously missed by you, is that this website is full of naysayers and **** talkers, and then they wonder why nobody wants to help them.
I've dealt with it, people denying what you do, even though they have no basis for thier bullshit.
I've built cars that never see a dyno. Who cares about dyno numbers? I don't need to stroke my ego with a sheet of paper, i'd rather see the car compete and win against other cars, that means a whole lot more to me than a dyno number.
Go away

clearly this kid cares about the dyno since he posted two different numbers. i personally dont give a damn. your right, races show alot more than dyno sheets do. period my car saw the dyno once after the build and that was only for the tune. im not denying that i was giving the kid ****, i simply didnt like the two different threads with two different numbers. thats all. it makes everything, well, sloppy. my opinion.. not going to go away because you dont like it....

06blackg85ss is selling a built automatic transmission that he got from Powell Raceshop in Canada. You might want to send him a PM.

got a built 4t45 setup for sale, but you would need to upgrade to larger hubs for the axles that come with it (g6 or lnf).
Comes with a built 3500rpm converter, trans cooler, fans, temp switches, axles, computer, mounts, trans fluid, lines for cooler, distribution block, temp sensor, trans temp gauge, mounting bracket for trans cooler, misc bolts and hardware needed, plus shifter (stock), cables, etc.
$3k +shipping, was run on a gt3076r 09 LNf car for a few drives, had ecm problems so just pulled everything back out.

Yea Vince at trifecta tuned it, they shop I go to is a dealer for them. I like the tranny that cabanchie posted, but is there anyway to build my tranny to the hp I have and not an over kill of 3 grand? Can I replace the dif, and the torque converter, and if any of the chains inside aren't metal replace them metal, or should I go big or go home

go big or go home would be ideal. But im sure there are shops out there that will know how to beef it up with parts that wont break... Torque converter would be stupid expensive for these trannys though

still a 2.2. the lag on the shifts, sitting on the clutches between them. ewwwwwwwww. trans tunes are a long process. if i had the actual software to properly do a 2.2. id fix it.
Its a fun car no doubt.

Yeah... Vince said he's done all he can to the tranny. Im guessing his software isn't as in depth as say HPT is, for the tranny at least. HPT is working on getting the E37 working, they have a lot of bugs with it right now. Will probably switch over to them when the time is right. Either way it's still a fast car.
