I'm running a performabuilt 4L60E lvl 2 with LS3 427. Feels pretty good. I like it.

I ran a FLT level 4 with 7 lbs of boost, 468rwhp and it was a perfect trans.

After having tried Performabuit (twice), I'd say FLT.

Whether it be FLT, RPM or Performabuilt.. you are in the hands of the best of the best when it comes to GM transmissions and it would be in your best interest to contact them directly and explain to them what your goals with the car are so that they can set you up with the proper grade transmission.
