Eventually I'll have play money again and I'm thinking to soften the Vette a bit and make it more of a GT. One thing I'd like to do along this line is swap the T56 to 6spd Manumatic if possible. What was the name of the one in the Cadillac? The TR6060 replaced the T56 but what replaced the 4L60E? Also, wonder what's involved computer wise . . . mmmm.

There it is, the 6L80/90.

Well, that's about twice what I was imaging to spend, but holy hell those are awesome! Good future proofing too if I go to a blown stroker.

On a side note, just my 390WHP is street dangerous in a 3,100lbs car. I mash it in 3rd or 4th on the fwy and it's screaming past 100mph in a hurry. But, hey, moar is moar!

I tried to see if I could find a controller for the 6L80 last night but wasn't finding any. However, this morning I did find one. It doesn't say how much so you'll have to call them.

I like rowing my own gears as much as the next guy, but it sucks in traffic and not the best for acceleration. My overall vision for the Vette is to soften it a little and make it a bit more comfortable, while making it substantially more powerful in time.

At some point Id like to experiment with a beater C3, and splinter the factory fenders to flare them out. I dont like the stepped look of those aftermarket flares. The C3 is a gigantic set of wheel flares, and I want to just extend them.
