i can think of alot of pros. bone stock they're already stronger than a c4 and alot harder to kill. then you take that thing to someone who knows their shit on tranny overhauls have the extra clutches put in[ 5 instead of 3 or 4 ] wider heavier bands, low stall torque converter [ they hook up real nice FWIW, got one when i had mine built] not to forget the shift kit, seems like i'm forgetting something, oh yeah, even stock i'd take a 6 over a 4, i've killed ALOT of c4's but only one c6 now i remember, the cherry on the cake, don't forget the oil cooler, the cooler you can keep your fluid [ no matter what tranny you choose] the longer it's life will be. it will go in the radiator cooler at 160-180* and when it comes out of the aux. cooler it will be @100-120*

The C4 takes up less room and a little less power to operate and is pretty good if you build it correctly. If you are looking into making a lot of power the C6 is probably your better choice. You can convert to torrington bearings to reduce friction and there are a few other tricks like different planetaries and such to get better gearing. I used a C4 behind my stroker. I burnt it up once, rebuilt it then split the case. Best answer...it depends.
