Default Birds done for the year

Going to take the rest of the year and bulletproof the driveline. Going to go with a 4l80e reverse manual valve body with a 2500-3000 stall, fab m9 rear with 3.23. Probably a carbonfiber driveshaft. Done replacing trans one should not go through 8 trans in a life time lol. Plus I get the rear cut 3in off the side and get some boyds to put all around mmmm.

Thumbs up

Good ideas Todd, 4L80 and 9 inch make for a solid combo.

I think he might be talking about a few different/other cars over the course of the last 10 years maybe?
I know he had a Z28 automatic (twin turbo) before as well.

I'm not saying that you shouldn't do a 80e because I'm putting one in my truck right now but a properly built 60e should be good for your car. My 60e has worked great in my 5500lb truck pushing 600rwhp for the last year and my car runs low 10's with a 60e. Good luck with the setup.
