im torn....either way im stuck with a 2400 price tag.
Performabuilt LVL2 with a rebuilt PI converter (gonna tighten it up and make it a triple disc) 1900ish tranny only plus 400-500rebuild.
OR
stock 80e with a shift kit and a Yank 3600 i think 2000-2400 depending the crap i have to deal with.
im running 4:10s and i dont want to go lower gears unless i can find something thatll work well with a 305/50/20
im a roll racer more than anything but i havent really been racing.
the truck has a best of 12.7 @ 104
6.2
stock milled heads
228/236 112+2
Pacesetter LTs/OR-y/36" muffler
Yukon 4:10s/Tru-Trac
4" custom CAI
Truckshop dyno tune
28" DR and 275/55/20s as street trim
full weight.
i see everyone running a 80e with S/C'ers and Turbos...no one really runs these trannys N/A. i just dont want to spend the money on the 80e swap and then be unhappy! if i ran 12.6-12.7 at 104+ with the tranny upgrade then id be happy with the swap.
any input please lemme know!
im leaning towards the PB lvl2 an restalled converter

it took you a 75shot to get 12.7 and in a RCSB vs my 5800lbs CCSB. im not adding heads/intake/1500 LTs/500 exhaust and blah blah lol. i built a 12.9 truck but its faster than i planned. i like the way the truck runs on the 60e...im just worried itll be too much transmission for what i want and ill be slower.

my PI3600 is a 9.5" so my shifts fall to 5600ish and its pulling hard again...if the 80e can pull like that then ill be happy. 40mph is the bottom of 2nd gear for me now. 35mph i can pull it into 1st and roast the tires. i guess imma try an 80e..just gotta figure out what converter imma run. its gonna be a fun i guess

My lvl 2 is holding GREAT in my heavy *** crew cab, boosted 4wd launches, mid 12 sec. 1/4 times, 8k lb trailers, etc etc. Almost everyone I know that has a pb lvl 2 loves it. Not deciding which one is best for you, but don't worry about the performabuilt reliability. It will take what you have right now just fine. I would feel safe with your combo with another 75-100hp and the pb level 2, if you plan on more than that, then you might as well go 80e.
