i have a 2002 camaro z28 with 86k miles and i want to upgrade the transmission and was wondering what brand would be the best for daily driving and preformance i also wanted to know if an upgrade to a 4l80e would be worth it im keeping it an automatic and im planning to swap in an ls3 soon and then full bolt ons after that within a year timeframe. thanks for all your help

I guess the first question is what kind of power do you plan on making with this combo? Obviously it sounds like you are planning on an over drive trans but we need a little bit more info to help you decide if you need an 80 or if a 60 will suit your needs. Feel free to give us a call to discuss your build. Vince
