      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.

      Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
      Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

      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.
