Whelp Jakes decided to give us a healthy discount and we now have an all billet 4l80e being built for us

Since it will have a trans brake this was needed

Back together again, Big thanks to Jake @ Jake's performance. We were having some issues with the transmission they built for us and he personally came to our shop and resolved them. This new built trans feels alot better than the junkyard unit we were running before!

Stopped by Improved Racing today and Micheal hooked me up with a oil pan baffle and a crank scraper. Had to bust out the engine cradle to drop the sub frame to get the pan off.

Finished clearance-ing the crank scraper and snapped this pic before I put the windage tray on and buttoned her back up.
