Default 4L60E first gear mod

Anyone tried the 4L60 4L60-E 4L65-E 4L70-E Transmission Sonnax Pinion 2.84 Input Planet Assembley. Drops the the 3.06 first gear to 2.84 and gives a close ratio tranny. Little pricey but could be worth it. Comments? Experience?

Thanks

So, did you race before and after? Are you slower? - faster?

Thanks

I have the 2.84 planet. But the car had a TR6060 before. Call RPM and ask their opinion based on your setup.
