    I love my Richmond tranny

    The 4L80, with converter, is about 180lbs. About 80lbs. more than a 2004r. Now add my combo. up...40lb scattershield, 40+lb flywheel 18-20lbs. for the clutch assembly and the Richmond trans, 90lbs. Looks like a draw to me. I can get a 4L80 core for $200, the controllers are now down to $500, and...

    I love my Richmond tranny

    I am....geezz....but no 2004r or 700r4 is gonna last long behind my motor. A good build on the 4L80 and it should hold up for years. Besides, it may help everything behind it last a little longer.

    I love my Richmond tranny

    I love my Richmond 5-speed with my 3.08 rear gear, but like you I wish I had o/d. My plans to remedy this is a 4L80 trans. I know..a damned auto...but it will costs less to do than either a Tremec or Richmond 6-speed.

    FAST ecu

    Re-read. That is what I implied. FAST WAS on top. Not any more. Holley now has the post position. Now it is up to FAST to catch up. I want them to add trans. control to the XFI. For free......:mad:

    FAST ecu

    For your application I would choose either the Holley or the FAST self-tuning ECU based systems. If you want to try tweaking, then all you need is a lap-top. The GM will require you to buy some software and is not as easy to learn or tune. Yes, Holley has responded to FAST in the capability...

    FAST ecu

    So what exactly will the E38 ECU do that my FAST XFI won't?

    EFI computers......

    If you were closer, I'd let you play with the tuning features of my FAST system. Easy to use and learn. Never a glitch between the ECU and laptop. No code to write, just manual inputs of numbers into tables. I know these can be expensive, but that ease of tuning is what you pay for.

    EFI computers......

    Gene, you have at least 2 oxymoron's there: "GM and easy to tune", and "don't require a fortune for a program". IMO, you are trying to marry 1980's hardware with 2000+aftermarket software. Me thinks you are in for a battle. Same reason many programs and devices won't run on my ancient shop...

    FAST ecu

    Just went online and found a Holley Dominator ECU for $1,599 and a FAST XFI for $1,499. BUT, I see that the Holley Dominator has drive by wire and a transmission controller (4L60/80) built in. I would definitely buy the Dominator if I had to do it over. The Avenger line will not support my...

    FAST ecu

    The FAST has voltage correction, and once you set the commanded idle speed, nothing you add to the load will change the idle speed. The FAST is a wide-band system, with a second O2 sensor input. Bottom line is you are paying for a good user interface and customer support. The self-tuning upgrade...

    FAST ecu

    You might want to look into today's aftermarket ECU's. Mine (FAST) will do internal data logging, nitrous and boost control, up to 5 bar map, traction control, sequential injector firing, individual cylinder timing and fuel control and on and on. Now with almost all the aftermarket systems...

    FAST ecu

    When I was shopping for EFI a few years ago, the FAST system was only about $300 more than Holley or Edelbrocks systems. You do have to shop for a good deal a little harder than with Holley or Edel. The FAST has features and upgrade-ability that the others didn't offer. Only Bigstuff 3 and AEM...

    FAST ecu

    The FAST system is a powerful upper-end ecu, capable of anything you can throw at it. The original XFI ecu that I have was not capable of self-tuning. This is a new version of the XFI. Older units like mine are up-gradable.

    Lazy-assed Ophra watching good for nothings....

    Now Obama and Congress seem to have agreed to an additional 13 months of unemployment pay. That totals to 3 YEARS of continuous unemployment checks. As an employer, if I see you have been unemployed for three years, you have no chance in hell working for my business. Geez.

    The charge-back period is usually 60 days from the time of the original purchase. Tick-tock.
