Default 05 tahoe trans with 24's?

I have an 05 tahoe 5.3 Im not sure what auto trans it is but i was guessing the 4l60E? How do these hold up to stock gearing with 24s?

What gear should i run with the 24's to give it alittle help and maybe give it some pep in low end?

hard 4/2 kickdown is a 4l60e killer! 24's are pretty heavy but you might be fine if you dont drive it hard. what is your rear end gear ? regearing it to make up for the big 24's might help you out.

Might want to throw the corvette servos in there, only $15 or so and an easy install. Do a search on here, I know there are a few threads on them. You can pick them up on ebay. Next step would be a big trans cooler, like a tru cool 40k, around $110.
