Default 5 pinions in a 4l60e

just curios do 5 pinion planetaries change the gear ratio at all or was that just a specific brand that does that?

Nope, same ratios. I have heard that they are stronger then the 4 pinion sets, and I have heard they are weaker. Who knows who is actually telling the truth

There is a set with different ratios and its about a $1000 set-up.

No they are the same ratio but they are stronger than the 4 pinion. We offer a 2.85 ratio planet set for all 4L60 based transmissions. We have had great luck with them. They have consistantly knocked the 60ft times down on every car we have installed them in.

Is your 2.84 gearset the 6-pinion one shown on the PATC website...?

The 2.85 planets are $1250 and can be added to our built 4L60e transmissions.
