I've been told that TCI will soon offer engine braking as an option.

No offence to you but...
Unless you have built one, and it works AND survives, you are just regurating the technical side of things with no proof, kind of like a ad in hot rod for TCI.
Do you build transmissions for a living?
Would you warentee a 6sp 4L80e?
The issue is, they took a 4sp auto, and are using the computer to do most of the work to make it a 6sp, rather than design a correct 6pd trans.
Think about it, the 4L80e, is basicly a TH400 with overdrive, very tough transmission, and been proven over the years. (from what, the 1960's?)
But then using the overdrive pack applied in different stages to get a 5-6sp, just does not make sence, if you have ever had one apart, really looked at it, and have a half-arse understanding how it works.
