Which one would you take (trans)
So here are the two options I have narrowed it down to:
1. Get a new 4L70E and put a shift kit and servos in it, total cost $1100-1200 after core exchange.
2. Get an FLT level 4 4L80E and the Speed Engineering conversion kit, total cost $4400-4600 after core exchange.
Will be behind LQ9 with all other mods listed in sig. I know the 4L80E will be tons stronger but I can replace a 4L70E four times before I pay for the 80E conversion. I don't have a lot of $$ right now.

What are you hp/tq/et goals? That will tell you where you need to go with the tranny decision. BTW, a stock 80E with a shift kit will take you plenty far. A level 4 might be overkill depending on your goals.

I agree with vanilla get a nice 80e put a shift kit in it and get it freshened up for 1200-1500 total then whatever it costs for the conversion then you will be good. Like I said before an 80e basically stock can take ALOT of abuse and that is what I will be running behind my setup the 60e family is inherently weak and all the things to beef them up are just patching up a **** poor design from the beginning.
