Default Time to rebuild.. Q's.

my performabuilt lvl2 is great... but I'm thinking maybe I should freshen it up a bit before I drop a 600+hp nitrous 408 in front of it.

What rebuild kits do yall recommend? Got a really good transmission guy in my town that will rebuild it for $400 bucks and warrenty it for 1 year

thought I might as well take advantage of this!!!

any other recommendations on hardparts or anything before I go bolting it back in?

thanks

60e wont last long. Do the 80e swap and be done with it.

4L80E bro...

I've got a lvl 5 FLT and refuse to put it behind my new motor even freshened up. And turbo hp is easier on transmissions than nitrous hp IMO.... Get yourself a mildly built 80E and thank yourself years later that you did when its still running.
