Looks great.
Good luck with the transmission. A friend of mine has an H2 with a Magnacharger and he was going through transmission regularly, so we swapped in a NV4500 about a year ago. Much better, a lot more fun and way better towing
Then after he blew up the stock rear end we swapped in an Eaton posi, much better still

Just FYI, the pictures make the turbo look ridiculously close to the front driveshaft. There is plenty of clearance even for the movements of the shaft. The stock cage under the truck bolts up perfectly for turbo/piping protection.

When you have a Hummer and you want to be faster than most other Hummers, and you dont want a heat soaked Maggie or a insufficient Procharger, Turbos are the only way to go.
With the 54mm's and small A/R on the turbine side, the spool should be instant while retaining great power up top. The Wastegates are extremely efficient not only in Turbosmart's design but the placement and feed.
Low boost will be awesome without ANY creep/movement. After the transmission is built (and hopefully to motor), 700 rwhp through the auto shouldn't be a problem.
