Kinda hard to understand the price of the ECU but I guess it's "whatever the market will bear." Cost of this project is getting outta hand but I love the way my 98 GMC and 00 AstroVan shift. The computer will not be controling the engine and transmission like the new vehicles but I understand that you program it with a laptop. Guess I will give it a try, now I gotta find a higher stall convertor. Since the 1st gear is so low in the 4L60, maybe it's not necessary. I'm sure there will be some slippage (rear tires). Thanks for the replies. Bob
