which of the pans has the better adapter for the filter?
i know some just push in, and some have a clip, others ive seen bolt in.
im torn between the 2 pans.
any thoughts, please.

for a 4l60e there typically is no adapter they just make you run the deep filter off the trucks

For the 4l60, I like the TCI Al. pan Not sure if it is the same design for the 80.

The 4L60E pan is completely different from a 4L80E pan. The B&M pan uses an extension piece along with a bracket to hold the filter in place. This ensures that the proper suction is always maintained and not compromised should the filter "slip off".

I know they are not interchangeable, what I was trying to say is the cooling fin design on the TCI Aluminium pan looks like it should reject a lot of heat as does an aluminium body. I've seen 60 pan in person, I haven't seen the 80 pan but I was assuming that it is the same general design.

i like the fact the hughes hold FOUR extra quarts.
ive seen one in person before, but never the pickup variations in the two.
the hughes pan is huge.
it would make a failry cheap house for a homeless guy.
i found out today that the hughes does not use an extension.

both companies had there explanations for having/not having an extension.
im in the air.
i like the price of the B&M, but the hughes does hold one more quart.
wonder if one quart lowers the temps that much.
