give it a manual/auto valve body..
3500-3800 stall.. life would be fun...
...........yeah, a TH350/400 with a Gear Vendor over-drive!!! Bullet-proof strength and durability without lost fuel economy!!!

Have you (or anyone else) done a swap to a TH350 or TH400??? Do either (or both) fit right into place of the 4L60E?? I figure a TH350 should, but I'm not sure if the TH400 is any bigger (physically). Also, does this have any effect on the car's computer? Or do the wires just get "capped" and you'd never know the difference?

Not that I have anything to worry about right now, (1 - still have warranty, 2 - no money = car is still stock) but one day I would like to have this car running for sure 12's, if not 11's, and "maybe" 10's (if I get carried away!!!!) and decide to use N2O!! When that time comes, I don't have much faith in the 4L60E, so I'm almost "expecting" it to fail down the road, so I'd definitely consider swapping to a more proven transmission at that point in time.

Any info would be great. Thx.
