Any plans to beef up the 4L80? That will be wicked if you can slide in under $4,500. Just what I want to do with a 4x4....

we built a 10.8x truck out of a stock 2010 4.8l truck and a gt45 68mm turbo

foot brake 1.61 60ft trapped 124-126 depending

stock yard 80e, transgo kit, circle D converter,
that trans and converter went into my fairmont then when i swapped out of the th400, its still in mikes car now that i sold him the fairmont.

i would say they are pretty stout.
dont know why anyone ***** with a 60e lol

Nice/clean looking truck! Did you figure in a new set of rear tires in the $4500.00?

BTW- did you get that 58x/microsquirt figured out?

Which level of converter do you use? It looks like they offer three different ones. http://www.circledspecialties.com/c-43-4l80e.aspx

Oh mama! This is gonna be good. The truck looks great. That HD2 kit, do you have to go into the case of the trans for some of the mods or is it just valve body work?

it says on transgo's site that the trans doesn't need to be removed for installation.
