Well, not in my application. I am having a custom input shaft done for my transfer case to allow a bolt-up option for a 4L80E, and I've already had my custom tranny mount made, so sliding it back would be more of a pain than a benefit.
The wide turbo isn't that big of a deal, it just means more work.

Who is making the input shaft? It sounds like a very stout combo at this point are you worried at anypoint about the front and rear diff's or T case not being able to hold up to those power levels?

The diff's will probably need to be changed out at some point. I'm not shooting for huge HP right now, but more focusing on getting all the best parts I can into the truck during this build.
Oh and the transfer case has been able to hold down into the 8's, so I'm not worried about that one.

We're both actually from Pleasant Grove. It isnt on the road yet but it may be able to be fired up this weekend. If so, we'll try to get some pics and a vid of it.

Oh by the way, do you need anything else from an LS1?? Im parting mine out and want to sell some stuff. I have an intake for $350 shipped if you want it. Its a BBK 85mm manifold, and I will even throw in the MAF too.

Well it is finally alive. Still has a few small things to go before it is 100% though. It should be back at my house this weekend, so we will try to get some more pics and maybe a vid of it.

Ok, here are some new pics and a short video of it. Still got to get the 12 bolt and other things done before its track worthy.
Dakota Digital dash:
Idle vid (carb needs some tuning and its idling too high):
The exhaust will be getting installed tomorrow, so it will sound a lot better then
