  1. Don't let them take you to the bank. It's already got 4l65e hard parts, because it is a 4l65e!

     

    Yeah mine got dropped off today, waiting to hear what they find and then I'll go from there. I will say that I absolutely do not trust big chain transmission shops, especially for performance rebuilds. Trust is earned and the only way you can trust a transmission rebuild is if you don't have to go back and have it re-built lol. I've at least got a friend of friend doing mine so it isn't going to break the bank, upgrading hard parts and everything to 4l65e stuff and soft parts will also be upgraded, $600 isn't too shabby

    Unless he swapped to a 80E already. I know his truck has obviously been extensively modified. some of the older members who know that truck more intimately might know what it's got.

  2. Well, if you can get the tune dialed in I'm sure it'll idle okay and what not. The "drivability" I'm talking about will be the peaky power band you're going to have. How often are you running over 4k rpm? Now be reasonable about it, say you're crusing down the street and you look down, im guessing you won't be near 4000. I'm not trying to argue, just trying to make you a little bit more aware. That engine is going to seem really high strung. Even most of the TBSS guys wouldn't run that cam and they have more compression and are 500lb lighter to boot. I'd MAYBE consider that for a stroker cam. But I'd probably stick to high 22Xs even in a stroker for these trucks because the TQ would be a nice, flat 500-550lb/tq+ table top of awesomeness haha

  3. I presume you're talking about the hi ram. Without a good cam, don't bother. They like to flow really well up high in the rpm range and feel a touch lazy down low. If you aren't going to utilize the high flow of the intake with big cubes, high revs, or boost, all you're left with is lazy down low.
