Default shiftkit?

i want to buy a shift kit for a 2wd 4l60e in hopes of extending its life a little bit and better performance, so what shiftkits are reccommended? and who has better prices? also is there any tuning needed?

No tuning necessary. Transgo HD2 kit is most popular (and recommended by PT.net sponsors). Prices? You'll have to do some digging. FLT used to sell them outright, but I think they've changed the business lately, and recommend their supplier. Not sure if Performabuilt sells parts only.

Give each sponsor a chance to respond. I'm sure they will be happy to recommend based on your application and desires.

I would suggest zeroing out your shift times or you could zero out your shift times and log the "last shift time" vs TQ to determine the correct shift times to retain adaptive shift learning.... Oh and setting your tranny pressures back to stock...
