Also i sat in stop and go traffic the other day for about 45min, the trans temp never got above 145*. After that i did about 3-4 WOT runs the trans never got above 140*.... Cruising around it sits at 110*.... I was shocked, especially with that converter and how hot everyone says the 80 runs... Maybe rollerizing the transmission really helped, i dunno... But it definitely runs cool!!

Great thread Corey. I went from a NV3500, to TH400, to 700r4, to 4L80e with a converter and 80e/converter setup is the ****. Just like you said, the shifts are much better than the 700/60e and they feel bulletproof. I'll be watching to see what comes next.

.... All in all i am extremely happy with the swap, Honestly i really don't know what everyone complains about with the 1st gear. I really like it, 1st gear spins up high as a **** and 2nd is freaking insane, being able to kick down into 2nd at 80 is nuts!!! The shifts are really really quick and they are barely noticeable. 1000x better than the old stock 60 with the shift kit and the level2 performabuilt...
