For the money, I would use a 4L80E and be done with it.
My mistake. Thought he was just referring to the regular 4l80e, not the 4l80e-based TCI 6x.

If I were you, and dead set on a 6 speed auto, I'd go with GM 6l80e and be done with it. But then I heard the 6l80e is huge and may require cutting the trans tunnel.
