I wouldn't change. Reason? The 60 has a too low 1st....too much drop 1-2. The 80 has the same 1-2-3 as the 400 (2.48, 1.48, 1.00)...closer ratio.
BTW, there's magic there as the 350 is very close (2.52?, 1.52?, 1.00). The reason the 60 has such a low 1st is 'cause it was developed during the suckiest era of non-performance.
lol well ok, 03 1500 z71, k&n CAI, flowmaster exhaust, bought the truck as is, 75k miles on clock, and i am running on 285/75r16 right now, the biggest tires i would go is 35 x 13.50, wish i could get a wider tire though. wanting to do gears, 4l80e swap with some LT headers and high flow cats and all 3in exhaust ran to the back with magnaflow.
The question now is why the 80 swap?
yea i can def. tell that there is to much of a drop in 1st gear, cause my truck has some good pull with the tires in 1st, then it switches to 2nd, and it is a slug.
60e is going out and i am going to be towing alot, and going to put a FI 6.0, and i am not going to be changing trans every year
he just wonts the 80 swap for strength not performance correct me if im wrong im just guessing but he just wonts it to last

His sig in no way suggested the need for an 80 for either reason...that's why I asked. The future mods might make it a need however.
i dono if you drive a stocker hard enuf the lil 60 wont hold up
