Default Best Deep Sump Trans Pan??(C5)

Looking to upgrade my pan when I change fluid next time, I already have the OEM deeper pan that comes with the 01 C5 4l60e, it is worth upgrading to a B&M, TCI, or the one sold by the eBay guy ctpowertrain? They claim 2-4 more quarts, but don't know if they are going by the smaller OEM pans or not. Or is the added cooling of the aluminum and fins worth it anyway? Thanks

Make sure that any pan you choose to go with that it can be used with a C5. Reason being because of the fill plug in the pan on your transmission.

We use the factory pan on our builds. I am building a unit with a trans brake for a C5 next week that requires the B&M pan. I will have to take a look at where the fill level line compares between the two. Vince
