| Transmission choices - 200R4 or electronic? 1) The 4L80e will lose less power than the 200R4 and will shift better when controlled by a Big Stuff 3 EFI system 2) It will be almost unbreakable. Any thoughts or experiences with this? I've talked to two tranny shops and they concur, but a 4L80e is a lot more money than a 200R4 as well.... |

I don't think the 4L80e comes in a BOP bolt pattern

Are you sure the parasitic loss through the drivetrain is less with a 4L80E versus the 2004R?

Yes, I know this because it's a known fact that a 400 has more drivetrain loss then a 200 and a 4L80 is basically a 400 with OD.

Am I sure the losses are less with a 4L80 than a 200? No - that's why I'm posing the question. The mechanic building the engine told me this AND the 4L80 will stand up to the torque better than a 200R4 - even if its been built up. That part is equally important.... I don't want to break at the starting line. Trying to educate myself before spending more $ Thanks for your replies. |

There are only 3-4 people in the US of A that I would want to do a 200-4R for me. Or a 480LE. Here's 1 of them. ----> www.CKPerformance.com Give Chris a call just to get the info you're seeking before you make an expensive decision based on incorrect or insufficient information. He's a great guy, & you'll be glad you called. ---------

The 4L80e will need some sort of controller too ...
