Product is good, but I would buy TCI before I bought PI. They are more efficient.

Try clicking on Racing Transmissions ----->>>>> One of the sponsors.
http://www.fbodytrans.com/

I just had the Level 3 rebuild done to my 4L60E. They have a great warantee on their work. 12 months or 12,000 miles, and from what I understand, you can spray on them, or hit them with well over 500 RWHP and they won't even flinch.

I have only just gotten mine installed, so cannot give any real world reports yet. There is a big 4 door Impala SS w/Turbo LT1 (383 I think) that is making well over 1000 HP and has the level 3 transmission in it with many passes on it and lots of miles of "Spirited" driving, and no signs of the trans having a problem.

Just another option for you, I obviously went this route for convenience as well as reputation, because I live here in Las Vegas where the shop is.

Give them a call and see what they tell you about shipping, turn around times, etc. etc. I know they change them over to vacuum modulated shifting.

Good luck with whatever you decide.

How much RWHP you making? I haven't had a chance to get mine on a chassis dyno yet. (trans went south so had to rebuild first before the dyno)

I believe mine will be making well over 500 to the wheels. . .

I had them shoot the works and got the Level 3. How many miles have you put on your Level 2 so far?

From everything I have heard, Scot is a wizzard with these 4L60E trannies. I plan to spray mine later this year with at least a 150 shot, and that doesn't affect the warrantee at all.
