[QUOTE="Michael Plackis, post: 16172509, member: 185417"] I’ve had one issue with my controller. It had a flash memory problem but I sent it back and had a new one in under a week. From what I gathered it isn’t a common issue. That was the only issue I’ve had with it. Besides that I absolutely love it. I have since day one. I always tell everyone even thinking about doing a trans swap that I’d go with the 6R80 if I were them. Stock they’re good for like 800 reliably. There aren’t many other stock transmissions that can keep up with that and they’re not expensive if you get one from a truck which actually have the extra friction plate potentially making them stronger for higher hp builds. Even if you do build the trans it’s not terribly expensive and will still be cheaper than buying a built 4R70. The controller itself is very easy to use however the tunes that come predownloaded with the software aren’t perfect and do require the slightest bit of knowledge to set up but I went into this with zero knowledge and managed the make it work pretty good and with time I slowly adjust and make it better. I thought about going with the coyote computer to control it and my engine but it’s a lot more work and I don’t want that going on right now. If I swap everything from my car into the foxbody I have I might go for it but I think I’d rather have the trans controller and a stand-alone ECU(Holley or MS3). I prefer the controller because it is easier for me to go in and tune it myself versus having the stock ecu. The coyote computer could potentially make it smoother and more like stock but I would trade that for the ability to adjust stuff on the fly with ease. [/QUOTE]
