4L80E GM Heavy-Duty Performance Transmission
650 HP Rated • High-Power Street • Street/Strip • Heavy-Duty Applications
Built for higher horsepower, heavier vehicles, and aggressive use.
This 4L80E transmission is designed for applications exceeding basic street and towing use,
including high-horsepower street, street/strip, and heavy-duty performance builds.
Rated for up to 650 horsepower, this build incorporates increased clutch
capacity, reinforced internal components, and upgraded hydraulic control while remaining
street-drivable.

Torque Converter Requirement
Torque converter not included.
At this power level, a properly matched performance torque converter is required.
Converter selection must be based on engine output, torque curve, vehicle weight,
power adders, and intended use.
Cooling & Tuning Requirements
- External auxiliary transmission cooler required
- Factory cooler alone is not sufficient at this power level
- Standalone transmission controller required unless installed in a factory-equipped application
- Proper ECU / TCM tuning required
Vehicle Fitment & Core Selection
Fits GM vehicles equipped with the 4L80E from 1991–2006.
The transmission core is selected and built based on year, make, model,
engine configuration, drivetrain, and intended use.
This listing covers all 4L80E applications within these model years.
