Seat of the pants power is BACK!!
I'm back on the road ..... after swapping out tranny and converter. I had to nail it yesterday on the highway and the rear squatted - and the power is there again. I've got 150 miles on it. How long should I take it easy during break in? 200 miles?

.... to add to this ... the whole thing has been a nightmare beginning last November. For your enjoyment:
* november: transmission starts slipping
* purchase 4l60e from transmission shop in MD. Also purchase 3200 stall converter from company in Houston with intention of installing everything myself.
* 2011 - have no time to install so I have friend's shop install everything. Recieved the car with horrible vibration in neutral/park. Tranny company says converter, converter company says it's the installation. New TC get's shipped in and installed. Vibration gone in neutral but power is gone and there is a vibration when accelerating hard. Also tabs on the harness connector broken off so I had to repair that as the fluid was leaking bad. I installed an external cooler and had the computer tuned by Frost.
* May - transmission burned up. Clutches shot. Fluid burnt to a crisp.
* June - RPM tranny installed with Vigilante converter. I told the shop to throw everything else away.
