  1. 4L80E conversion exhaust routing

    in Bolt On Performance

    Posted

    After throwing my truck up on the lift and looking everything over thoroughly, my main concern is the crossover pipe from the drivers side to the passenger side. With the new tubular transmission cross member, there will be much more roof available above. Basically, as long as the 4L80E transmission pan is not deeper, it should be a non issue. Getting new cross member parts powder coated and accumulating parts slowly as funds become available.

  4. 4L80E conversion exhaust routing

    in Bolt On Performance

    Posted

    Getting ready to do a 4L80E conversion in my 06 GMC Sierra 2WD Vortec Max with torsion bar front suspension. Currently have ARH headers and catless crossover pipes. Going to use Dtrfab81 tubular transmission crossover. Does the crossover exhaust pipe coming from the driver's side have to be changed at all to accommodate the 4L80E? Is the 4L80E pan in the same location? Any assistance would greatly be appreciated so I can start accounting for changes.

    JC03SS,

     

    Just for clarification, I have full tailpipes that dump in each rear corner near the bumper. I am not running dumps before the axle. If I did that...the sound would be completely obnoxious inside the cab. I fired it up once or twice with open headers and I think my vision blurred.

    To be honest there is very little if any cruising down the road windows down. Put the windows up and stereo on...quiet. The same was true for the Flowmasters. The big difference I believe is the higher RPM range I run my truck at due to the cam. I would bet there would be a lot of drone on a stock truck. However if I hit the go pedal she sings to 7k...

    Just for reference...I just swapped out my set of 3" Center In/Out Flowmaster Super 40s for a set of 3" Center In/Out Spintech Pro-Street # 6441. Here is a clip from my buddy's windows who was pacing me from a stop light going around the corner. He has a Duramax so there was no mixing of exhaust sounds :)

    Finally made it to the track last night for a few runs. I did zero track prep and left the truck in daily driver attire...basically the worst case possible due to wheel/tire combo. So what did I learn...

     

    1. Street tires suck...almost lost it around half track on the 1st run.

    2. I like to take naps at the lights.

    3. 2wd trucks make it difficult to hook.

    Other than that...it was fun but perhaps a little track prep would go a long way.

     

    I didn't get video of the 1st run...just a timeslip. The two videos correspond to the 2nd and 3rd runs respectively.

     

    Timeslips:

    cmoney23,

     

    It is one of the biggest car shows that I have every been to. We always went to it until the last year they sponsored it in 1998. Due the excessive partying and debotchery, Duqoin stopped hosting it because it was too much of a hassle...but when they realized the huge money loss I believe that wanted it back.

     

    On a separate note...as long as the weather cooperates I will be runnging my truck Wednesday night at Gateway Motorsports Park...

    shadowsniper3006,

     

    If it would ever stop raining around here I might be able to get to the track. I feel that my tune is finally complete after ~36 revisions. Zippy is thorough to say the least. The truck is night and day compared to the MAF tune I was running. I honestly believe that the final dyno charts I posted are not even close compared to my seat dyno now...

  23. 3/4 Djm Drop W/ Wheel And Tires

    in Rims and Rubber

    Posted

    is the djm 3/4 drop the lowest u can go without c notching my ss?

     

    I can not say definitiviely but I believe that is the lowest you can go on a AWD SS. I have a VHO and wouldn't want to go any lower without notching due to the limited space between the axle and bump stops now. I do not bottom out but I am sure it is really close...

  24. Confused after cam install.. Expected more!

    Stock

     

    Just my opinion...

     

    I would bet that your injectors are maxed out. I know on my VHO, my stock injectors (which I think were 18lb) could barely keep with a small tune...let alone a cam. When I originally added the cam and stall to mine, I used a stock LS2 (26lbs or 28lbs I think) injector and converted the connections. You could probably get these really cheap at a speed shop...

    hey brandon thanks for the site bro is that what you got in your second pic and can i get the carrier bearing relocation bracket from the same site and for some reason yours looks a little higher than silvys idk maybe thats just me thanks for any further info.

     

    I think mine did sit a little higher...but I honestly can't really figure out why. If you contact Tony, he will take care of your questions and concerns.
