Default Supermatic 4L85-E

From GM Performance parts. Anyone out there running one of these? And how about the GM controller?

They say it can handle the "mighty ZZ572/720" crate engine.

It comes with a production torque converter (approximately 1,800 - 2,000 rpm stall speed). Price is around $4000 with converter and GM controller.

I don't have one, but have you looked at the Gearstar units ? 8K ! I don't think that includes the controller, either

Yes, I've seen the Gearstars. At those prices I would imagine they are made with precious metals lol.
