Would you build it again ?
How did the electric waterpump work and hold up ?
I am building the next version of the car now. I would not go with the automatic again. It worked, but the 4L60E in stock form just didn't hold up. I believe if you talk with the guys at Mongoose Motorsports, they also went away from the 4 speed in favor of the 6 speed. I went with a manual solution years ago, and I have been very happy with that. Keep in mind, my solution means no reverse gear. For a track car, it works great.
My latest solution is a Mid Valley Engineering dog ring four speed mated directly to a Winters Quick Change IRS. It should hold 800-1000 HP, and track use, with no issue.
I think the 6 speed auto can be a great setup; depends on what you're doing with it.
