Good point Dan,
I seriously though of the GearVendor's unit but came up with different results. First off I believe your mistaken about the price, I know GV advertises a unit for $2K but (as usual) its for a chevy, the C-6 price is $2,700. To get away from all the button pushing you'll have to do is another $200 for a ECU that GV sells. Also, $200 torque converters seem to have alot of problems behind FE's (all that lovely torque). So its been advised to me that a good converter is must and costs about $600 (the Lentech unit is $600 if bought separately, but is included w/ the AOD). Furthermore I've heard you should at least put a shift kit and some other bearing related stuff to the C-6 (minimal cost?) Having said all that I think if your looking at cost then the GV unit may not be the best choice (say $3500).
However, one other thing to consider is how much HP and TQ your application is producing - you may need a more expensive Lentech trans.... Then you'll have to re-evaluate cost again.
Also I've read that the C-6 does have a good amout of drag and my first reaction to the Lentech tends to verify that. The car revs in neutral alot better than before - I think this has alot to do w/ the 10" converter, but I'm not sure and I'm not paying for dyno time! LOL.
Later, Bill.
