Gentlemen, thank you all very much for the input.

Do any of you know a shop that does work like this in the Houston or Dallas area?

Tallow,

Kind of funny, by the replies you almost would have thought this was a trick question. Like you I just installed a SC and I know it is just a matter time before I need some tranny work, especially since I have an '03 with the old style transmission.

To answer your question, no I do not know of a shop in the Dallas or Houston area to refer you to for this kind of work, but if someone ever does give you an answer please let me know, maybe we can go in together and work a package deal.

Do you live in Dallas or Houston?

The tranny work suggested by drmiles is a shop in Bosier City, LA
I have visited with them and I will run my 4l60e till it drops with some fairly inexpensive part chnage outs and will then go to 4l80E swap out complete with carbon fiber bands the works. They say it cannot be destroyed. Most normal 5 lb. boost engines with stock trannies will last a long time if you are not running at WOT every time you touch the peddle. You are not exceeding the stock tranny ability even if you do nothing if you use rig normally with SC for better uphill grade perf. etc. Do not freak out about the tranny unless You know it has been abused before you got it. That can be checked with a regular service check with pan dropped and filter change while you are at it. Go to syn. tranny fluid Royal Purple is real good. It is not so much of the amount of HP and torque you are running as it is the application you use it for.

Well unfortunately I can't affor to just run it 'until it drops' so i have to rebuild or replace it prematurely.

I read some of the threads and the sites suggested, and it seems like a good idea to swap for a built up 4L80E. Then i shouldn't have any more trouble out of it for a while...

I'll see what they say in Bossier City.

Thanks everyone for the input.

Drmiles, name of the shop?

Question?
How old is your rig? Is it a 07 as listed in sig? How many miles?
A SC added to low miles will not do in a tranny unless you had trouble to begin with. KLAUS has a 03 with SC and factory tranny still in it the last he mentioned. He drives his everday.

I had my tranny checked before SC install to be sure all looked OK so no warranty issues. I had a service manager and dealer fortunately that support what I do in the show and power things I do.

You may just need some tranny adjustments with better software than what comes with SC kit. The programmer is limited in what it does. Just trying to save You money not needed to be spent yet if that is possible and tranny mechanically does not have a problem. Been messing with this stuff for a few years now.

Others here have more experience for a year or so on H2's than Me but, have not said anything yet. But, You must do what Your gut tells You.

We had the 65E rebuilt when the SC was installed and the truck was virtually new. We never had another problem with the trans.

Any good trans shop can do the rebuild and 'vette servos.
