There will be 4L80RR packages, but not until more testing is done. And I strongly doubt that the RR mods will be applied to super high powered applications. Just a wild guess, but the limit may be more like 700 FtLbs of torque. Sprag failure is the primary concern with the engine braking mod. 4L65E development, on the other hand, has already benefited from five years and thousands of miles in Bowler house and air ride cars. The 80RR's have a lot of catching up to do. We're gonna test one in our Hoover project car, aka the red car, aka the car formerly known as the red car. We call it Hoover now, because it sucks up so much cash in the form of do-overs. If the 4L80RR breaks in that car, it will just be another do-over. So Hoover is the perfect test car.
Bowler still makes tough 4L80E transmissions that handle that kind of big power (800 FtLbs or more), just not with the RR mods at this time.________________
