Default will a good 4l60E shave any ET?

trying to find a local shop to build me a strong tranny but might end up going with FLP. i am wondering if a built tranny(flp level 4) will shave any ET over a stock tranny. i was seeing a prety good flare(about 500rpm) between shifts on the stocker but i don't know that it was slowing me down any.

stock one is complety shot now, it would be nice to see some ET reduction after spending 2k+

It shifts pretty quick, I think most of the aftermarket transmissions do but I don`t think It will shave any time just like a shift kit doesn`t.

It will hold up to alot though.. how about peace of mind.. will you trade that for time reduction? <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Suprisingly, no. I don't think it will. There have been times when I've rebuilt a slightly slipping tranny or installed a shift kit and made slow shifts turn to lightning but it didn't help the ET or MPH. Doesn't seem right but that's what most people find.

Mine (FLP IV) did not shave off any quarter mile time.
