4L60E Vs. T56
I've been getting ready to do some upgrades for my car. However, i'm running into a little problem. I've been getting pulled on both sides on whether to stay with my 4L60E or swap it out for a T56. I take the car to our local Flashlight Drags, which is on an air strip (probably an 1/8 mile drag) and also to Pittsburgh Raceway Park (1/4 mile drag). The car is stored in the winter, but come middle of spring until middle of fall, I have the car out. I also to car cruises and meets as much as I can. Pittsburgh Raceway park is about 2hrs away for me, and the cruises are about 1.5hrs. I've heard that the 10 bolt will take abuse from the T56 and should put in a 12 bolt or Ford 9 inch. I know some make fun of automatics, but I have been always viewed it that it is very hard to out-shift an auto. If i'm keeping my 4L60E I thought about buying a TransGo HD2 kit and 3.73 gears. I also may have to get a stall considering what cam size I get. At the end of the day, I want this car to still be a street friendly car. Any advice would help. Thanks!!

If you plan to stay auto a stall (3600 minimum) depending on cam size will net you the best results...
I would highly suggest a new rear (s60 or 9") if you plan on making the swap to manual...
Just to be honest at the dragstrip stalled autos are just plain nasty!
