If you're gonna buy a new one you might as well upgrade to a 6l80e if you can get your hands on one, and then program it into your computer. I'd say any trouble would be well worth it.

For you guys that dont know, Ive been working on my car for a while. Swapped out the heads/cam/FAST 90/nitrous setup in favor of a custom spec'd cam, stock 317 heads, stock LS2 intake and a twin turbo kit. On low boost (9psi) the car made 620 RWHP and 535 RWTQ and on the high boost setting (13.8psi) is puts down 768 RWHP and 690 RWTQ. I really dont plan on turning it up more than that. These numbers were made on an "Eddy Current" loaded dyno in 98* heat and are SAE corrected. On the cooler nights and fall time, it will probably be knocking on the 800 rwhp door
Needless to say, Im a pretty happy guy and cant wait to enjoy the car for a while, esp after being down for almost 7 months

I got my skinny front tires from Gene's Tires on Texas street in Bossier. They are not the cheapest, but they are the best on mounting and balancing. I always take my high dollar wheels to them to do the mounting.

Did you ever think that was because who it was for.
I've done a lot of business with Gene, though he is not the cheapest, I have never got a quote like that.

i didnt check the fitment yet. My rears will fit for sure but my skinnies need spacers for the brake calipers. I was just going to run my saleens up front if i was to go tomorrow. What about a 1/4" spacer, does GENE have those too? It'd be nice if i could get the spacer and tires at the same place.
