Default what to get: 4L60e tranny and Torque Converter

OK, so I need a tranny and will need a T/C.

So, for trannys, there's FLT, TCI, Performabuilt, and others.

For Torque Converters, there's Yank, PerformaBuilt, B&M,
and, sorry, I wont spend the money on an FLT unit.

I havent settled on the tranny, but in ranking order:
1) FLT
2) Performabuilt
3) TCI

... and for the T/C:
1) B&M Holeshot 2400
2) Yank Stealth 2800
3) PerformaBuilt with tranny.

I will either rebuild the engine or get a crate, possibly
the GM crate 405 hp LS6 engine.

Any thoughts on tranny and T/C ?? Pros/Cons for
those trannys and T/C?

I too have no personal experience, but have heard nothing but good things about FLT, and I will be putting one of their level 4's in my car come spring time. I personally have a Vigilante stall. Love it. No problems. 1 free stall change. Cant go wrong.

Pretty much any of the tranny sponsors on here will hook you up just fine!

I've got the Performabuilt Stage 1, and love it. About 16k miles on it so far, and its flawless. Its even holding up to my 125 shot, and so far so good on the 150 shot too. I have a Vig 3000 stall in it as well. Performabuilt has I think the best customer service out there, and are available even at late hours. I've also put my Level 3 4L65E on layaway with them for my stroker motor coming soon
