Just get the 4L60E built right and it will hold. The biggest problem with this tranny is so few people can build it well, I used Pro-built.net and am more than happy before him I had used a local reputable shop with BAD results. FLP2win.com a sponsor here also builds a very good 4L60E.

When I did the 2800/3.42s on the Caprice it was a 20k+ a year daily driver and is a great combo for such.
