Level 5 -Performance Built 700R4 Transmission, “700 Extreme Raptor”

Description

Chevy 700R4 Transmission – Level Five 1,000 HP Rated ” 700 Extreme Raptor”. 

Made possible by the release of the new Smart Tech Input Drum, we are proud to present this new development to you.  Available now the level 5 Extreme Raptor Transmission, the world’s fastest strongest 700R4 / 4L60E transmissions. Stronger because it has the “Smart Tech Input Drum”. This drum is able to use 9 Red Eagle clutches and 8 full thickness Kolene steels with a special ZERO-FLEX backing plate. Faster because it has our PATC “Power Gear” planetary. This planet gear has the correct gear ratios so you don’t get the usual RPM / power drop-off between first and second gears . This gearing will lower your quarter mile time by 3/10 to 5/10 of a second.

We have 14 major design changes that have been performed on this transmission. We have always wanted a 700R4 / 4L60E that could handle insane power reliably.

The first area we wanted to address is the gear ratio in this platform. From the factory we are faced with a 3.06 1st gear ratio, and a 1.63 2nd. When the 700R4 was first designed, the V8’s were packing a measly 180hp from the factory, so when combined with a 4,500 lb vehicle, the 3.06 1st gear worked great. Fast forward to today when a 500hp daily driven street car is the norm, and you soon realize that you blow through 1st gear rather quickly. Then you hit 2nd gear and you see this large RPM drop, and high horsepower vehicles are at a lower part of the engine efficiency. This is exaggerated even more with the addition of larger camshafts with tighter lobe separation angles, and you soon find yourself trying to shift later out of 1st gear, so your drop isn’t as low coming into 2nd, where you have very little port velocity. So we are faced with a 1st gear that is useless and a 2nd gear that initially lugs our engine. We were sick of this and said we will not let this be an issue in our dream transmission. We changed the gear ratio on this transmission from the factory 3.06 1st gear to a 2.84 1st gear. We took 2nd gear and changed it to 1.57 vs. a stock 1.63. We achieved this with our 6 pinion front planet. This is the 1st time we have ever offered this planet set in a transmission.

We then moved to the rear planet replacing the pathetic 4 pinion factory style planet with our NEW AC Delco rear 5 pinion planets. These planets have 25% more load carrying ability. Keep in mind GM felt the need to turn to this planet in 2002 with the y-body, and made it standard on all LQ9 equipped trucks.

With the new Smart Tech drum we were able to finally solve the issue with deflection with in the 3-4 clutch pack. This allowed us to not only get radical with our pressure apply rates (no coning) but it also allowed us to no longer worry about the end of the drum blowing out under extreme conditions. This gives us the ability to have tremendous clamping load within the drum.

We were also able to achieve more clearance with the new design, pushing our clutch count to an astounding 9 – Red Eagle, full thickness, double sided clutches and 8 FULL THICKNESS, Kolene coated, heat treat steels. End result, is a drum that can withstand tremendous apply force, incredible clamping load, additional clutches and absolutely no deflection in the 3/4 clutch pack.

This Extreme Duty 700R4 Transmission has the Smart Tech Input Drum Kit that holds more Red Eagle clutches (9 full thickness) than any 700R4 input drum ever built.

The drum comes with a 300 Maraging Billet Steel Input Shaft. We removed the 4 pinion factory style planet with a NEW AC Delco rear 5 pinion planet. These planets have 25% more load carrying ability.

Next we replaced the front planet gear with our 6 pinion Power Gear that has a better 2.84 first gear ratio so you don’t get the usual RPM / power drop-off between first and second gears, this gearing will lower your quarter mile time by 3/10 to 5/10 of a second.

This transmission comes with the Torque Master Kit, Smart Shell, 2 oversize servos, 2 oversize pressure valves, 2 oversize bushings, our Billet Steel Pump Rotor, Carbon Fiber 2-4 band, Borg Warner 29 element input sprag and many more upgrades / improvements. Add Powder Coating, Rollerized Reverse Input Drum, Extra Wide Band, Pinless Accumulator Pistons, Pan and Output Shaft upgrades if desired. We recommend our #MR-2 or #2B billet torque converters for this transmission.

We have many reports of the Level 5 Extreme Raptor transmission holding over 1000 horsepower.
