I just ordered the FLT 4l80E level 3, i don't the kind of HP that will break that tranny i don't think. Also just ordered all the individual parts from Speed Engineering for the conversion w/ the TCI Flexpate. ****'s expensive i'll tell you, and i haven't even ordered my converter. Yank just got back to me, they recommended the 3200 stall, so that's what i'm gonna go with, so you guys called it on here. Anyway, gonna order that next week, in the meantime i'm gonna start ripping out the broken one in the truck. I wonder how much i will get back on the core charge? trading a 60E for an 80E, idk. I am gonna take as many pics as possible and if anyone wants help in the future i'll have i'm sure all the knowledge and pics to help. Also, if anyone has any suggestions for me at this point that would be great. I need to set up my computer for the new 80E, i have BOOMER sending me HPT files on that, i guess i will have to just copy and paste tables, unless you can reflash it somehow that i don't know about. Also, i need to set up my pcm for the stall and i've heard like 3 different ways to do it, but this is the converter i am for sure getting, so if someone could let me know what changes to make TCC wise and any other table are in need of changing. Thanks guys.
I'm procrastinating the same conversion...can u PM me what u paid for everything? ur stall sounds a little higher than what I was going for...I'll be getting a 26 or 2800 max for my blown 370...I want a nice streetable stealth machine. I have a call into FLT as we speak. I've not heard too many complimentary notes on Speed, so I'd really like to hear how they treat u seeing as u can only communicate via email with them!

well, just to let you know, i just ordered everything about 4 days ago, and the parts from Speed Engineering are gonna ship on wednesday, but not the crossmemeber, they still have to build it. But you should really know about FLT is that it is gonna take a few weeks for them to build it and ship it, and i ordered it last week. The shitty thing is i waited 3 weeks making and decision and researching what exactly i was gonna do, so my truck will be out for a total of 2 months most likely
