west coast specialization on the 4t65hd i know tep is king of the crapper for our trans but is there anyone out west who knows there stuff on this transmission everyone i find is afraid of this thing and while i know that tep is the best its not worth the 1k plus it would cost just in shipping the transmission around the country

Sounds about right.
BTW- I'm in Vegas this weekend. Made the 300 mile drive in the SS on half a tank of gas. Most of the trip, the trans temp stayed in the 120's.
Gotta love the TEP upgrades!

That's pretty bad. A auxiliary cooler connected directly to the trans (omit the factory cooler) and a tighter converter will get your temps down.
To give you an idea of the difference, my wife is driving in town as I type this, and we've been at 152 for the past 20 minutes or so.

I figured you were on a smart phone!
As long as you don't have issues with slipping, or the rev and clink, and you don't have any material in the pan, then you're probably okay to do the valve body mods.
The Precision converter I got from TEP was $199, plus $50 core. There are two different part numbers, and one has a lower-than-stock stall. That's the one I've got, and I love the way it drives.
