Default Boosted line pressure w/ built 4L60e

As of right now I have boosted line pressure and I have been through 2 4l60e tranny's in 1.5yrs. I am thinking about ordering this rebuild kit and getting my trans built. My question is: Should I put my line pressure back to stock or leave it alone?

Now i have a stock stall right now and my trans is stock rebuild from jasper. It gets the **** beat out of it sometimes and I want one to hold up this time. Each time it has been the 3-4 clutch pack (no 3rd & 4th)......

I love how my car shifts and don't really want to mess with it, but if it is going to put to much pressure on this rebuilt trans then I have no choice but to put it back.

Here is a list of the rebuild kit:
-all new lip seals
-all new gaskets
-new filter
-all new steels
-all new bushings
-all new raybestos clutches
-new 29 element hardened, double-gauged input sprag
-corvette servo
-updated, rebuilt pump kit
-hardened pump rings
-10 vane rotor pump
-new slider
-new guide
-new pump vanes
-hardened sun shell
-500 boost valve
-valve body reprogramming kit
-wide pro-series band
-teflon-coated front pump bushing
-aluminum accumulators with heavy-duty accumulator springs
-special 3/4 clutch pack which will alow you to add at least 5 to 6 more clutches
-sonnax high performance, wide-open throttle valve (WOT)
-raybestos Z-Pak
-sonnax reverse boost valve
-sonnax pinless, double o-ring aluminum accumulators
-sonnax super 4th gear servo
-new shift solenoids
-new force motor
-new pressure manifold
-new TCC solenoid
-special forward reinforcement kit for forward drum which consists of a hardened race and a machined piston

Uusually on stock line pressure, a built 4l60e will shift harder than a cranked up stock one. I'd add a little to the tables but just a LITTLE.

and this is gona sound crazy, but run a ground strap from the trans to the floor somewhere of the car, like the trans to body mount. crazy, just do it.

LOl,
well yeah, but to what benefit? I know I am not the sharpest tack in the tray, but the motor seems grounded pretty well.

Ground - If/when you have an ground issue, you can end up frying the shifter cable when starting the engine.

You didn't say which shift kit, but I think the HD2 kit comes with the 2/3 release check valve. If not it's like $20.

WOT TV with an E trans???

How often are you changing the fluid?



EDIT - your avatar is disgusting!
