I can't seem to find good answers anywhere on the max power these transmissions can reliably handle. Heres some info on what I believe is our transmission:
2008 Hydra-Matic 6L80 Transmission ( MYC )
Type: Six speed RWD / AWD, electronically controlled automatic overdrive, transmission with torque converter clutch. Clutch-to-clutch architecture, with integral Electro / Hydraulic Controls Module
Maximum engine power: 469 bhp ( 349 kW )
Maximum engine torque: 439 lb-ft ( 595 Nm )
Maximum gearbox torque: 664 lb-ft ( 900 Nm )
Gear ratios: MYC
First: 4.03
Second: 2.36
Third: 1.53
Fourth: 1.15
Fifth: 0.85
Sixth: 0.67
Reverse: -3.06
Maximum shift speed 6500 rpm
Other sites give different answers but at the same time I read C6 corvettes are using this tranny as well so they must be pretty durable right? I just want to find a good answer on how much horsepower I can get away with while keeping it a reliable daily driver.
