A max build on a 4L60E can take just about the same as a stock 4L80E. A shift kit in the 80 though and you are WAY ahead of what a 60 can even think about. The 60E can be a decent tranny for a small block, but requires some work to get it there. A TRANSGO HD-2 shift kit, HUGE tranny cooler, ALTO clutches except for the 3-4 pack(the Z-pack is the way to go there), heavy sprag and one way clutch stator, 10 or 13 vane pump, corvette servo or SONNAX billet servo's(even better, but shift HARD!), SONNAX 1-2 shift valve, deep tranny pan, and a SUNCOAST billet converter will get you a stout 4L60E. You'll be looking at around $1300-1500 worth the parts alone though. Depending upon the year of your truck, an 80 will most likely be easier to swap and be less money.
