Re: In case you're thinking about a 4L80E...

Yeah, it sure wasn't about mileage, it was about having good torque (gearing) down low and still having a reasonable engine speed on the highway. Of course the original owner drove it 150,000 highway miles with 3.54s, but I had to change things...

Oh well, if it all works out, it'll be a nice setup!
