Drive trains are identical except for the torque tubes. The torque tube is specific to the XLR or Corvette. When I did the swap initially I wanted to leave the original transmission in the car because I was changing so many other systems . When the original transmission Failed I put in a used Corvette transmission to get me around. I had the original trans rebuilt with some heavy-duty parts.

the problem is the 6l80 can't reliably hold the power I am making. I actually detuned and the car with a 10 pound waste gait spring. is put down about 700 hp. The last transmission I rebuilt had every good part available. It lasted 8 weeksand 1 trip to the dragstrip. after to transmission failures i'm done with the 6l80.
the 4l60e that RPM is buildingwill easily hold 800 rwhp. I will be turning up the boost with this transmission.
I'm going to have to change the name of the thread:

It would take about 40 hrs of labor to due the swap , build the custom wire harness and install the turbo kit. Ialso had to take care of some maintenance issues which were extra.
The custom operating system cost about another $800. Basically my tuner took out the northstar engine segments and plugged in the zr1 engine segments.
