Favorite 4L80 Controller?

Well up until recently I would say spend the cash on a microsquirt. You still need to add a few things but it has great support.



Something I am drooling to try out is the new Speeduino units.

Here is someone building one which frankly gives you the best bang for your buck.


Ok ok. Dont be totally intimidated. It runs tuner studio by design which is a powerful easy to use tool. You can taylor build it the board how you want for what you want.
Then you can tune it for that transmission or upgrade.


But like I said. I have not melted any soldier on a board just yet myself. But several others have.

It is one of those things the how to and tech is out there for you to do it. You just need to be willing to do it. I could give you examples but you can search for the tech and make your own decisions on the route you can go.

The best parts mean nothing without proper tuning. These are very basic and cheap boards with software that allows for errors and (previous saves).

As far as bang for buck Speeduino is the best current option I can think of. Your going to save more by building one. But there are people who will build them depending on your requirements. Of course at the core it is designed for you to tune it.

Thanks. Just an update for this thread, I'm seriously leaning on going with the Edelbrock controller. I already have the Proflo 4 injection on this car, and they are supposed to play nice together. Just two wires to hook up to the Proflo pigtail, and the transmission controller can read inputs for RPM and throttle position.
I already have my freak Show converter, and my tail shaft has been sent in for the speedometer gear install. My transmission guy has the core, and he is working on it right now. I also have received my new crossmember already too.
The car went 11.7's at the track. This is with a 342 gear which crossed the finish line at about 4,800 RPM. Also the car was short shifting at around 5500 rpm. So I never really was up on the cam at all. I was too scared to manual shift at the track, but started manual shifting it the next day when I got home and I could tell the difference in the way it ran. But shortly after that the 200 4r gave up the ghost. Something went boom! And now I have 14 neutrals. But the park pawl still works!
I will be installing some 410 rear gears along with stronger axles in the very near future. And I'm sure this car will be in the tens very easy!
