Default Upgrading a 4L80e?
I know the 1st gear on the 4L80e is kinda steep. Since my rebuilder is getting ready to start on the tranny, is there any way to change the gearing? I've not asked him, by the way.

Also should I ask him to find the 34 element intermediate sprag that I keep seeing builder sites mentioning?

Thanks.

keep the steep 1st gear. It gets you off the line faster.
