True. But I should be able to boost it up with all the fuel upgrades.

I always ran well below the limits but now I'm going to to run safe but not too conservative. Hell I only ran 6.5 psi before to be safe and then got a bad cam.

Plan is to run around 10 psi and maybe keep a pulley for 12 for track day.

So what's the plan when that tired trans shits the bed?

I guess I better drive softly for a while. haha

I will buy a built replacement. That is the next thing to go I believe.

Or the rear end.

Little more cam and volume too. Yours is 6.0?

5.7, but i think i'm gonna run with some ported 6.0 truck heads (317s) to drop my static to around 9.6 & then add a cam while turning the blower back up.

then i'd make sure to either tune with the small pulley or get two files that you can reflash as necessary.

well, he already did the L99 -> LS3 swap... maybe it'll be time for the 6L80 -> TR6060 swap

Built 6l80. Bahaha. I can tell you who not to buy one from. That is, unless you want to fix it after every track day.

I will definitely have it tuned with the small pulley (most boost)

And the manual tranny is out. I do not want to be doing the clutch afterthe fact. Too much work. haha

I'll do my homework at that point. It will still be a daily driver so I will need to keep more gears. But we'll see.

On another note.... I'm canceling $500k in parts. Deal is they charge a 20% cancelation fee. I heard you the man to see about recouping that cost.

The paint I bought matched the IOM catch can and stripes and grill almost perfect. It is Dupli-Color paint and called Chevrolet Orange-Red DE/1607

Pretty happy about that.

Anyone know what this is?

Looks like some sort of heat protection on the engine mount but from what? And FOR what?
