There are, better planetarys, increased clutch counts, etc etc. By the time you have one of those beefy units built, that may or may not hold up in a one ton, you're at least 2k into it minus converter.

IMO, 4L80E is where it's at, guy's put Transgo kits in the stock unit and proceed to run 9's with them.
