It is hit and miss with the 4L60e. Some have better results than others. I know you should put the Trans Go shift kit in it. I think the V6 version is setup for softer shifts.

Check out this thread

I think that the accumulator springs will be different. Also the second servo will be different and the seperator plate will have different feed hole sizes. The inturnals will be the same but it is calibrated a little differently by the things listed above.
