Re: What transmission do you suggest?

It is hard to find an LQ4 around here that isn't in a 4WD donor. I had to buy the 6.0 and the transmission from two different donors. I looked at the 6/8 speeds and from what I read on-line is that they are not the best for "hot rod" applications due to difficulty in programming. Not sure if that is true, but I read it with enough frequency that I narrowed it down to the 60 or 80.
