If you knew anything about transmissions you would realize that bands cannot hold big power for very long. They either burn or break. Did you ever bother to do a search and see how many passes these PG's will give you. Usually 2 to 3 if you're lucky.
Making 1,000 TQ at 5-6-7-8K rpms is a whole lot different than making 1500-2,000 at 2K rpm's. Diesels are brutal.
Take you gas engine with 1,000 hp and 1,000 tq and compare it to a 350hp and 700 tq diesel and pull a 16,000 trailer.
They came in the duramax equipped express vans. Which are about 1000 lbs heavier than your turd gen camaro. Weight is big variable in transmissions.
I'd say get a nice spragless manual valve body 4l80e and a quality billet multi disk converter and you should be good. Might run you about $5000+ but you gotta pay to play
P.S. and I wouldn't get to happy with a programmer on the duramax either with a 4l80e
there are built 80s behind duramaxs doing good Nitrous express 94 mustang with the duramax had a 4l80 talked to one shop already and they will build a trans to handle the power im shooting for 700hp 1400 tq range
even if i was a 100 percent sure that im right......... i would still listen to mike L over just about anyone elses opinions when it comes to a transmission to hook up to a duramax.
