Well i am sure it kind of similar to 4l80e with extra 2 speeds and at first i was thinking about going with 3000 rpm con. cause that where the power band starts but i gave it more thought cause almost all my cars was manual and wasn't familiar with auto's will feel so i called my tuner and he suggested 2600 at least and he explained it to me how the truck will feel so i think 2600 is perfect cuase i want the truck to be DD friendly. I still waiting for his call to find out whats options.

Don't be afraid of a 3000 stall in a daily driver. With the lock-up torque converter the negative side of it is greatly negated. It will really help get that thing moving. Once you hit lock-up speed at part throttle and the converter locks up the stall is irrelevant.

Any more than 3000 is a little high for a daily driver but can be done depending upon how much city driving you do. I started with a 4000 in my 98 Z/28 when it was my weekend toy but changed to a 3000 after I put it back into daily driver status. The 4000 was a bit much for stop & go traffic. It built up too much heat in the trans.
