Default Stall at 90K miles?

I have a 2000 TA with the original 4L60E, I have faithfully changed the tranny fluid and filter every 25K miles. I have had normal amount of shavings in the pan, and the tranny performs flawlessly. I am contemplating a Fuddle 3400 2.1. Am I opening a can of worms swapping converters at 90K miles? I would also be adding a tranny cooler of course. What experiences have you had with high mileage trannys and stalls?

Was hoping people would chime in and share some experiences, such as;

"........I installed a stall at xx,xxx miles and it lasted xx,xxx miles....",

or

"........I installed a stall and the tranny went two months later.....",

but I guess I'm just gonna have to roll the dice and find out.

maybe its a good thing you didnt get any of those replies, but my trans went out with stock power and stock stall at around 70k, new trans is in the garage though so i'm happy.

I know how you feel. I was a little worried about modding my car and it just hit 60K. I have only had my stall for about a month, my gears just went in last night. I can't really tell you how long stuff will last but I would say go for it.

My LT1 has 162k on it and I just keep throwing stuff at it.

Tranny is a bit of a different tale but the stock tranny went at around 130k and the "high performance rebuild" I had done locally lasted 26k with a TransGo shift kit and 2800 stall.
So I said F it and bolted in the Rossler TH400 with a 4000 stall thats in it now.
As long as the tranny has no issues I would not hesitate to put a big stall in it.
