I do not doubt your system one bit, But I also do not want the limitation in compression braking with 4l80. I could have any parts in this trans swapped if needed, it seriously has been sitting in my office for a year. The 63 project is all about speed and handling, if it doesn not make it stop fast or go fast it will not be in there. I'm only putting a nova body on it so I can drive it on the street. Otherwise it would be a corvette dune buggie. We really want to try somethings on this car that we have not been able to do on other performance wise. I have always liked the paddle shiffter idea for a high horsepower street car that will see miles and traffic. You can have a race car one day and hit the switch and put your arm around your girl in the other day. You cannot do both with just either one, the best of both worlds.

Sorry,
Didn't think it was a question of doubt. I just wanted to clarify for everyone else. 99% of my tech support time comes from people with transmission or computer issues. But they always call up and start off with..."Hey, your paddle shifter doesn't work". So I'm pre-programmed to distinguish the components whenever I hear the word "system" It's like Pavlov only w/o the saliva.
Hopefully, the 80RR will be tested before your car is together.

Steve's story about picking me up left out the best part:

My never ending smile. It was a blast to get a first hand demo of the entire ensemble. I would recommend this to anyone that has an auto or wants to get rid of their manual. You will not be disappointed with the feel, performance and tune ability of Twist's package.

Tyler...last thing I want to read here is a post about your never ending smile, hand demo, or the feel you got of Twists package. DUDE....TMI!
