Did you read my last reply? A pulley isn't plug and play. And it could cost you your motor. Trust me.

Yes, there are shift kits.

I think thats what you meant, but when you said shop scan tool I envisioned one of those big ol' things.

Yes, Assuming your car is running with no KR, I'd be looking at a 2.5" SC pulley.

You can go with a trans built-in shift kit or a vacuum controlled setup. It goes where your stock cylinder style modulator is. You can adjust the screw to alternate the pressure.

A vacuum modulator is not a shiftkit, and can't even come close to it'* performance.

A shift kit is entirely shop-installed. It is not DIY.

There are no transmissions that your PCM will understand other than that.

There is no reason to replace it with another anyway.

Properly beefed up, the 60Ehd can handle plenty of power. Over 300chp and 400ft/lbs on 2500rpm drag slick launches.

Yes you do.

All L67'* have it. There are minor differences. Bottom line is that you have a 2.97 gear ratio with a stronger diff, and a reinforced output housing. Some other internals possibly as well. We don't know all the differences.

Not tagged as HD, but it is.
