A 80 is like a TH400 with over drive. Only down side I have found is the stock to mild builds can roll the sprag shifting above 7000. As well as the fact they are a fat girl. 220 lbs I think? I usually have to beat the trans tunnel a bit to make them fit.

If you don't need I've drive, a 400 is th ticket.

I drive my cars everywhere and they are as street as it gets. Ovr drive is a must for me.

There are a lot of these with a shift kit only holding 800 HP.

Loving mine right now...lil' tight, but is a N2O build.

What was your issue ?

broke the drive hub inside, with a bolt-on 2.8.

Doug G

WOW.... one thing I can say I didn't break yet.
I had a B&M 3000 go out on me as well as a GER 2500 (I know, young and dumb) ....was like a true stall....3-4000 just to start moving. All the fins/vanes either broke or flattened out.

And that was on the way back from the truck scales. It was 3200 lbs without me in the seat. Heavy pile.

the old dirty bird LS engine swap is complete. the car runs and goes around the block under it's own power. the car feels fantastic. i'm going to pull 4 more degrees out of the timing table to tame it down for chucky, lol. no pictures. the video i have is on facebook not youtube, so i'll grab that later, lol

Here is before with the 12" dynomax mufflers that were welded right on the headers:


And this is after removing those and installing the X pipe and widowmaker black widow mufflers.

Very pleased with the sound when cruising and in the throttle. Was time for a change from my usual 6" bullets I normally run.

gotta say...i like the bullets. the widow mufflers do have a good muscle sound to them though.

ZONES89RS

iTrader: (25)

Yea, the bullets sucked *** the way they were.

i think a lot of that sound came from the x-pipe. i don't care for chambered mufflers in general. they tend to suck hp away.

TXsilverado

dual 3" is overkill for a 5.3, so i doubt that chambered muffler is hurting anything.

Here is a pic of the setup:





Hell Matt, I don't even know if I classify these as chambered. What is your opinion? If it was a regular square muffler they wouldn't be on my car, lol.

keep in mind exhaust flows like water does around a pipe, around the inside wall, not like you're sending golfballs through it. so yeah, i see the exhaust crashing into the walls inside there and causing velocity issues. who knows though.

ZONES89RS

iTrader: (25)

I would say there is some turbulence generated at some point. Nothing this **** box engine should worry about I don't think.

That is a pretty tidy setup. Nicely done!

I was in Texas and was going to stop by and visit your Wednesday, but I was on a tight schedule this week.

zane, you have a welder and a lift. why not put something together yourself? is the exhaust shop doing work that cheap?

ZONES89RS

iTrader: (25)

Would have been cool to see you. As much as you are moving around, I'm sure we will get another chance.

I do not have a pipe bender. Also, the lift I have is a 2 post. You need a 4 post to leave the suspension loaded level to know where everything will sit.
