With any luck actually make a hit in 2011 LOL. Maybe.


Still need to build a retaining wall at the house, build a shed, rip out the landscaping in th front and do that over.... then start looking at dormering off the upstairs of the house, gutting the kitchen and redoing that..... and I want to change/redo the deck.

I'll probly work with the guy's at FLT or RPM for the tranny, if not it will go to Century. I'm between a Yank converter or Circle D right now.I need an efficient converter down low to handle the down low torque. I don't like locking the converter due to the multiple converters we've cooked already from doing that.

Nate (vegasnateG8 on tech) just installed his century trans last month. He might be the guy you want to talk to about how it holds up.

The problem is you have to send yours because the computers are in them. Good to do during winter time.

For street driving I like the 4L60 alot better.Even pulled the 4L80 out of my truck and put in a 4L60, night/day difference. They can be built to handle 800rwhp safely nowadays.
