Couldn't agree more, thanks! As Jake says, the 4L80 is not for everyone, but it is the unit of choice if you plan to make serious power. That was my eventual plan; unfortunately, I never got there. However, the car is now setup for someone else who wants to go that route.
Thanks, all.

2. I believe Jakes performance makes the stoutest, highest quality, most expensive 4l80e in the United States. The trans probably cost more than the engine.
3. anybody that complains about other cars not having a six speed has never tried to drive that car with a six speed in regular daily traffic jams and then had to deal with the hard aftermath of heat and wear on an expensive set of dry clutch plates. I'd rather keep the heart of my car liquid cooled, non-contact, thanks.
