Which 4L80E Contoller - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Seems to be a lot of options in controllers for electronically shifted transmissions out there. I just wanted to know what people's opinions are? I will be using a Holley Sniper EFI and a Dakota Digital RTX cluster. TIA

I am still in the building process with a bb Chevy & 4.l80e, I also want to go with Dakota digital, Holley terminator x stealth efi. Holley distributor, module and coil. but still open to options?

I have not done it, but my understanding is that the 4L80E behind the 80s/90s diesels has a stand-alone type controller.

Looks like I should have went with the Terminator X, in hindsight. I think I can still make what I have usable, just going to require more pieces I guess.

I have also heard this, but have not read anything in depth on it.

I plan on using the Compushift sport controller with a carb and MSD ignition. It is recommended by GearStar and B&M for my (B&M rebuilt) 4L80, and uses a smartphone app to program rather than a standalone touch controller. With that said, I imagine at this point most aftermarket controllers have their bugs worked out so I’m sure any of them will work fine.

Posted via Mobile Device. I was going to use the Holley Sniper EFI with the US Shift Transmission Controller, friend of a friend has the US Shift controller with a carb and has great results with it. Thanks
