Need transmission recommendations. Ok I have a 91' GMC ext cab 2wd sierra pickup. tubbed, caged, 5.14 gears with 31x18x15 street tire and 33x17x15 good year slicks with a blown injected ls1. On base tune 9lbs it made 843Hp 749tq. I will be cranking it u to 16-20lbs of boost. I haven't got the truck weighed but i'm guessing in the 3,300lb range. I have been thinking that a glide with brake isn't the ideal tranny for this application?? The holley dominator ecu will control all functions of the 4l80e transmission so that is a plus that route. I was thinking more in the lines of a built 4l80E or biting the bullet and putting in either a bruno lenco or the lenco st1200 clutch. The truck will be a street strip but mostly strip. let me know what you all think.
Hmm, I'm thinking you will like the 4l80 for your setup. In stock form they are very strong but can be made pretty bullet proof if upgraded by someone who knows what they are doing. Seems like a cheaper route to go than a Lenco but I've never researched a Lenco so I may be wrong.
