FTI 4L80E Transmission Kit - Level 3 - 1000HP Rated - Chevy Bell - Early Style - 2800RPM Converter

This is the FTI Performance Level 3 4L80E Transmission Kit, designed for early style Chevy bellhousing applications and rated to handle up to 1000 horsepower. If you're building a high-performance vehicle that needs a robust automatic transmission capable of serious power, this kit is a solid choice. It includes a 2800 RPM stall torque converter, making it suitable for a wide range of performance builds where you need strong acceleration off the line.

FTI Performance has put together a comprehensive package here, focusing on the internal components and upgrades necessary to take a stock 4L80E transmission and make it handle significantly more power. This Level 3 kit typically involves a significant overhaul of the transmission's internals, including updated clutches, bands, and often a stronger valve body calibration to manage the increased torque. The Chevy bellhousing ensures it bolts up to common GM V8 engines without needing adapters. The included 2800 RPM stall converter is a key component, allowing the engine to rev higher before the transmission engages, which is crucial for launching powerful vehicles effectively and preventing clutch slippage under high load.

When undertaking a transmission build of this caliber, it's important to have a plan for supporting systems. Ensure your engine management system is tuned to take advantage of the transmission's capabilities and that your cooling system is up to the task, as high-power transmissions generate more heat. This kit is a major step towards a reliable, high-horsepower drivetrain.
