My car is going in to my builder for a Jake's stage 3 4l80e and a 2800 triple disc lock up converter along with nitrous outlet kit. Im currently running headers, upper and lower pulleys, btr stage 3 cam, intake, and squash pumps for e85 with dsteck flex fuel sensor. Ill update after the car is picked up and how I like the trans. I know guys have did this with new camaro's but havent seen any zl1 guys doing it.

You will love it.

Using factory ecu to run it?

Separate tcm, dsteck makes his own wiring harness for a nice exchange

Right... gm uses a separate trans controller but you tune the trans "through" the factory ecu.
Super easy to do and you can grab a t42 for 50 bucks. Feel bad for the people that spend hundeds when all it takes is a couple bucks.

How much for the 6l90. Or is that trans had it.

Trans is good, I was just convinced to go with the 4l80e for future goals. Gm gives a 1000 for core charge so I want to atleast get that for it . Ill have the converter for sale as well
