If you drive like a sensible person, it will be fine. A shift kit will always help it out a lot though, and if installed right you won't have any harsh shifts.

No cons that I can think of except the lead foot syndrome becomes more prevelant.

11000 miles and no problems here. It is all in your driving habits and maintenance.

Even a stock truck can hurt a trans.

About 25,000 miles with the Radix on the stock trans with no shift kit, or any other drivetrain mod for that matter. Course, I don't flog on it like a wild man, either, like some folks do. And I have a 2WD Avalanche, which is as close to a 2WB Suburban as you're going to get, without having a 2WD Suburban...

I have 30,000 supercharged miles with my Radix. I do have the 465 transmission, so that is not directly compareable to yours. On the other hand, I do have the HO 6.0, so it has to handle more HP.

I put about 7 or 8 k Radix miles on my 4l60e with a transgo and aluminum accumulator piston upgrades and it was holding up fine. I knew that slicks would quadruple my chance of blowing it up though, so I went ahead and got a built 4L65e before I took it to the track
