Default People who have an FLP IV trans, come inside

For those of you, who went from the factory "stock" 4l60e transmission, to the FLP IV transmission, when you were all done installing it, and went for your first test drive, could you tell the differance? Meaning were the shifts noticably harder, firmer. Did it feel like a "strong trans" I'm just curious of what everyones initial impressions were. Mine should be here tomorrow, i cant wait. Thanks

I had 3 washers installed and had to go down to two.. it shifts really hard. Trust me you can tell a difference, probably with any aftermarket trans. I`d never go back to stock, that second gear just gives me wood <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

My stock tranny was slipping so it was hard to compare...

Remember to take out torque management in your tuning and the shifts should just SNAP mine does.

The million dollar question is, will it hold up to low 10 sec ET's?

If it will, I'm in, if not, hello 350T.
