Re: LT1 powered stepper

I've had it out a few times around town since the swap. I don't quite trust it yet for a long haul, but I've been pleasantly surprised each time I've had it out. The 4L60E has quite a kickdown when you put your foot into it. So far I'm happy with the acceleration and overall power with it (although there's always room for more power - lol) but I still need to chase down a few things, most electrical bugs. There's an annoying parasitic draw somewhere that flattens the battery overnight, but when I did a draw test there was only 20mA coming off the battery. I'm going to have to fully charge the battery again and retest.
Right now it's feeling out the truck and getting used to the new sounds and smells of a different engine, but so far so good. Once the truck is lowered and I can get her rolling again, i'll make a quick vid of it in action.
