Default 4l80e rocks

well as some of you know I finally got the 4l80e conversion done. I knew it worked good but not sure of the performance part. well I finally got it to the track yesterday and to my surprise I only lost about .1 of a sec but gained about .5 mph -- to say the least I'm excited, it's really been worth it. it was nice to drive back from the track under the cars own power . no more trans problems for me

Nice going man. I think you said you were running an aftermarket Trans controller right?? How hard was that to setup?

Ok, the auto trans problems will be solved with this trans. Now it's time to get these motors making a bit more power.

the motor makes quite a bit now- but more it better - ha ha . I don't use a aftermarket controller- I have a manual valve body- trans go kit. I shift manually- really easy actually- I thought it would be rough but quite easy

Sounds good, but how can you even say that those gains/losses are from the tranny? They could easily be weather, track condition, etc...

Just curious

the tranny is in my 98 ss. 99taws6 your right- I just figured a number from all the time that I go to the track- it could be more or less- your right.I love it - don't have to worry about braking a trans now.
