The only time I've had REP was after a 3-bar SD conversion. The MAP was not scaled correctly. I don't think I've ever had any issue with the tb.

No, I do know a guy who was having a problem with the throttle blade slamming shut going down track due the volume of airflow. Is this the type of problem you are having?

I havent had any problems with the truck at WOT but under part throttle boost situations the truck would throw REP and obviously we would have to clear the code and or shut the key off and wait for it to go away. I have heard the throttle body motors are weak and assumed that the part throttle boost was pushing the blade to a position that is not commanded and setting a code. This may not be a problem and a laggier set-up. We have a 62mm turbo on a 4.8 with a stalled auto. Truck made 500rwhp at 12 psi or so.

Hmm I would have opted for a 6spd auto instead. You can buy all the nec parts to make it completely bolt on and its a waaaaaay better trans the the 4L80 is. Check this out

I went with the 6x from TCI.

For roughly 6 grand...

Includes:
Transmission with lifetime warranty @ 1000hp. No more.
Converter stalled to whatever you want, I went with 3400
TCU And wiring harness.
Steering wheel paddle shifters
Outlaw Shifter.
A bunch of other random ****.
Tranny Fluid
New tranny cooler, excluding lines.

Designed for GM applications, this 4L80E-based TCI® 6x Six-Speed Automatic Transmission is a fully programmable transmission that gives you six forward gears (2.97, 2.23, 1.57, 1.18, 1.00, 0.75) for quicker acceleration and increased fuel economy at cruising speeds. Capable of handling up to 850 horsepower, this versatile transmission from TCI® features a compact design, allowing it to work in a variety of performance applications.

When used with the included EZ-TCU™ for shift point programming and the Outlaw™ 2-Button Shifter set up for manual mode gear selection, this automatic transmission gives vehicles the most functional and modern drivetrain combination on the market.

To ensure durability, TCI® engineers run each transmission across a computer-controlled transmission dyno to ensure proper line pressures and top notch transmission performance. Proof of this triple testing process is included with each transmission, shipped in the form of individual serialized spec sheets containing test scores. In addition, each TCI® transmission utilizes the patented HDT Coating™ for cooler operating temperatures and improved drivetrain efficiency.

Six forward gears & fully programmable automatic or manual shifting for improved acceleration & fuel economy at cruising speeds
TCI® EZ-TCU™ transmission control unit & 4-speed automatic shifter (ratchet, gate or stock) needed for standard automatic operation
Full manual shifting with the 6x Six-Speed requires included Outlaw™ 2-Button Shifter or optional TCI® Paddle Shifter
Self-contained design using 4L80E case eliminates clearance problems of external bolt-on overdrives
Package includes transmission with bellhousing, EZ-TCU™ transmission control unit, Outlaw™ 2-Button Shifter, wiring harness, transmission cooler, dipstick & Max Shift™ Street Performance Transmission Fluid

The upgrade from 850 chp to 1000chp is a additional 300$

we bought an optishift trans controller, its on the way.

overflowing the hz limit is still on the fence till we get the trans working.

we threw in some extra fuel over 4800 rpm in the PE table.
we will see if she stays happy

got the optishift controller today, and corey came over and we wired it up, really very hassle free...

a few wires, a spade bit drilled through the cab, and wires passed, factory trans plug on the other end, viola.

fired it up and loaded the 4l80e tune and set the axel ratio, and tire height and it builds a conservative table shifting at 5000 for you you can adjust later.

really amazing.

lots to read up on how to tune it properly but we played around a bit tonight...

on our first test drive, we pulled out of my neighboorhood and it promptly blew off the trans cooler line, and emptied the trans, haha, filled her back up with supertech, and we were back out playing

this week its getting a transgo valvebody and the driveshaft cut.
then shenanigans

Never trust a trans without a true 1:1 gear

LOL why do you say that? They havent been failing and you can run taller final gears and get the same acceleration characteristics.

For instance the 4L80e first gear is 2.48:1 and the 6L80e 1st gear is 4.02:1 and second gear is 2.36:1 plus with 4th being 1.15:1 running a 3.42 final drive ratio would equal or better the 4L80e on acceleration with 4.10's plus they are proving to be very stout transmissions.

Not saying the 4L80e is bad but the six speed auto is bitchin

my stock 6l80e in my g8 gt is a ****** animal.

i make 488rwhp for over a year now and i stand on it everyday. its my daily driver, not like these cars people barely drive, mine sees snow, ice, rain, and nice weather.

trust me when i say i floor it everyday. it gets trips to 170mph at least 2x a month.

the 4.0 first gear is amazing in a big heavy car like the g8, and would be perfect in the truck.

its a pain in the ***** to swap anything in the new trucks, 08 truck everything goes into like a breeze.

the 4spd is more than enough for now, truck is fantastic.

i think we split the stock intake, it builds boost so slow now, and i have the wastegate set for what should be 21psi and its making 17lbs now.. haha

i have some video update for you kids for being patient!
