What can you guys tell me about the automatic tranny found in 95 v-8 camaro's? How much torque will it usually take before it explodes?

From the little knowledge I know... I think they're good for up to 400 hp max.
Your tranny is the 4L60E, the electronic version of the 4L60, which is similar to the 700-R4. Your gears are: 3.06, 1.625, 1.00, 0.7. Many things are electronically controlled by the PCM now, which means you can raise and firm up the shift points with a programmer (or if you decide to buy the adapter for a laptop and get LT1 edit or a program from pcmforless.com)
Your stock tranny mount doesn't quite cut it...you'll need the 1LE or a poly mount. Hope that helps a little.94 Black T/A GT, Advanced Induction 355, 3200 stall, built 4L60E, Moser 9", Baer Brakes, Shooting for 11s... -
What Craig said.... and by the looks of your sig especially the N20, your 4L60E is hanging on for dear life. The 3-4 clutch pack is the first to go.Comment

It really depends on the mount. The ones from the local parts store are no where as good as a stock mount which aren't that great. There are several options here. Stock mount, 1 LE mount, I got one from a Caprice Classis police car, and a poly mount. Check out this picture. Note the part number for the 1LE mount if you decide you want that one. http://shbox.com/1/trans_mount.jpg
I got the police one because it interlocks and even if were to break, it won't let go of the trans. I don't know that part number for it. I have been happy with it. I got the poly mount before that one and I hated it. It was very noisy and vibrated the whole car. I could only take it for about 2 weeks and changed it.
