Because weight is a concern? A 4l80e will hold twice as much as that glide right out of the box. Your only saving grace is going to be your race weight, even then I think that glide is going to bite it the first time the s475 spools. It costs several thousand dollars to make a glide hold what this swap will make… I hate to see you do it twice. You’ll need a ~5k stall converter and you’ll have a whole 1500RPMS of powerband, believe me I’d love to see this work but it just doesn’t add up.

I thought that 475 was supposed to spool around 3 and change? What i have been reading is swap the basket to a billet one and replace the clutch packs and some other small things in there and they hold good power.

ill have to do some more research between the two. 4l80e with a manual valve body and shift kit will hold better you say?
