I got to thinking, I know that the 4L60E converters have different STRs.
The 5.3s are only a 1.9 (I think so are the 6.0) and the 4.2 and 4.8 are a 2.1 but are the 4L80E converters a 2.3+ STR?
The trucks with the 4L80E seem to flash stall higher and seem able to burn the tires easier too N/A (the 6.0 doesn't make a whole lot more power stock). Reason that makes me wonder is that the HD Ford unit (E4OD/4R100) has a 2.5 STR...

as you know my 6.0 4l80e brake stalls at 2500rpm and flash stalls between 2300-2500rpm.

I'd like to know what the '01+ 6.0s lay out stock as they have a larger cam also. The differences between the motors don't account enough IMO for the drastic power differences. I remember that people told me they could burn the tires off their truck with a good tune in an HD truck.
40 cubic inches is a good deal of difference, but that 4L80E would absorb any extra HP I'd think.
So that being said, any ideas what a tuned 5.3 makes vs a tune 6.0?
EDIT... STR is stator torque ratio, it multiplies input torque for more power to the wheels.

Well it's from stuff I read.
It's around that the 5.3 and 6.0 with a 4L60E have 1.9 STR. The 4.2 and 4.8 have the 2.1 as they have less torque to begin with.
If you check the Yank TT2600, I'm about 98% certain it's that Trailblazer converter. Same STR... 2.1, same diameter...11", and stalls the same...2600rpm, and costs about 1/2 the price.
The HD Ford converters have a 2.5 STR, so it crossed my mind that perhaps the 4L80Es do also as they stall higher and those trucks seem to burn the tires easier off the ass end.

I can tell you first hand that my 01 6.0 HD 4l80e would not burn the tires new and wont burn them now with a few mods including nelson hot tune.
3.73 gears, runs good but seems like low end torqe is not good. I am not sure about the tq converter but it really comes alive at around 35 mph and up though 100 still pulling strong.

See I've heard from at least two people with bolt on trucks that are tuned with 6.0/4L80E that they have no problem spinning the rear tires.Originally posted by WHT6.0HD@Sep 3 2004, 11:31 PM

I'm just thinking out loud here too!

Maybe a mechanical problem. A loose nut under the steering wheel
