4l80e, ok it weight a little more, but for a "troublefree" 10sec streetcar its perfect, rebuilt my 4l60e at least 3times last year,.... no problem widh the 4l80e (low budget prepped) so far this year, havent had the chance to test max preformance on a well prepped track but i have done a couple of 136mph runs best 60fot 1.9 so i havent done better than 10.7 on the 1/4
aming for low 10s or high 9s
Biggest misstake untill now is spending a racing season trying to get the 4l60e to hold up

What is the cost of the 4L80E and the 200 r4? How bad the conversions? I'm probably a ways away from the them but instead of overhauling my 4L60e if they aren't to bad on price I might want to look into them as along as they are still streetable.
