Yeah I started with the 4L85e when the car was going to be a turbo car....now I'm starting to think that the 4L85 is overkill for the motor I have planned and will just rob alot of HP.

The motor plan is (at least right now) and 440 stroker motor (based on a modern 6.1 set up). So figure 600HP or so.

I've even been considering going manual. That was my original plan... then the turbo idea hit me...plus the wife wants an auto....but I love the manual.

But now I have an expensive adapter plate and a huge trans tunnel

So...any thoughts on the downside of sticking with the 4L85e would be great
