I've got one (Level 3), but I haven't gotten around to installing it yet, and now I'm looking at getting a 4L60E instead.
I'm making the change because I really like the idea of the electronic controls.

Where are you located? Is the trans for your 'Vette?

We have a Level II 200-4R in a 67 GTO that shifts ridiculous. It's fun the first few times, then you realize you need a kidney belt after a while.

We yanked it out and are waiting on a 4L60E from Phoenix Transmissions.

Level 3 in my Camaro. Only 700 that has stood up behind this engine. Their TV made EZ kit really make sit simple to get it shifting right.

I just installed one (700r4) in a customers 64 pickup as well as a new 350. I was really nervous about it being that everyone was telling me watch out for the TV cable or you'll screw it up. Well I installed it any it went very smooth. All I can say is buy there TV system as it made me wonder what the big deal is about installing one of those transmissions. It was a cake walk for me and there tech support was very helpful.
