FTI conv/4L80E just finished a trip to the ocean cruise in the LS/Procharged Chevelle, with a
4L80E i built myself, plus an FTI converter Greg set me up with-it was about 170 miles each way, plus a boardwalk parade, lot of idling around, heavy traffic-trans temps never got over the 160's(B & M cooler mounted underneath) about 400 miles in all-i had the converter locked up out on the road, ran about 1900 RPM most of the time-i orig had built the trans as a man shift, later changed to full auto/Compushift controller, best move i made
really happy with the package, but Flowmasters are still noisey no matter what RPM, lol
i have noticed the trans seems to get better with more miles on it as opposed to a turbo 400 which seems good right out of the box
