Wow! tons of help. Thank you. I really didnt think I was going to have do all of this 4l80e stuff, but my tuner said I would probably regret not doing it now while everything is apart. He doesnt think my mildly built 4l60 would survive for long.

The new engine package is:
LQ9 with forged internals 10:1 CR
BTR cam, valve springs, SS valves
Ported and Polished heads
Manguson TVS2300 @ 6 or 8 psi.

efans, electric water pump, some other odds and ends.

Yeah I think it would be wise to stick a 4L80E behind all that. A mildly built 4L60E aint gonna last a fruitful life behind that LQ9 with goodies.

I'm jealous! If you want to, you can upgrade the stock 3-4 pinion planet from the 246 to a 6 pinion planet, just for the hell of it, can be found under $100
As far as the pump anything even the spacer/shim design will do it, but I'm biased towards the merchant fix, as its fused as an assembly with the pump.
