Yeah, well the Camaro has more HP and torque than the Z06, but it does have some trouble containing it. The 8L90 should be much tougher than my 6L50 though!

Except for the wheel, exterior and interior color, that's pretty much it. I do like the spice red, too.

Now comes the long wait.

What are you doing with the Camaro? Parting it out and selling parts, or selling it all at once?

Selling it.

Congrats. How long till you put twin turbos on the Z06 while keeping its supercharger?

Also, your torque converter, is it something Circle D can make again and is it expensive?

Congrats on the Z06 man, they are awesome. I was hoping to see you continue with the Camaro but hopefully the new owner will do good things with it. Did you ever look into whether the 6L80/90 would bolt up to our 3.6 or not and if it could be made to work?

Hey, maybe I will swap a LF4 in there and call it a GTP .

On the torque converter, yeah just PM Brian or Chris and they can build you one. I don't remember how much it was, but it was reasonable. I wouldn't do the 4000 though. 3200 would be fine I think.

You would need an adapter plate. The other thing you will run into is getting the 6L to work with all the other computers. We thought the best option was to put a 4L80 in it. It would give us some more room for the turbos and be easier to tune.

I didn't even think about a 4L80. So how many 6L50's have you been through, just the two? . And what power level did yours let go?

I haven't even checked to see what I can get a 6L50 from salvage for.
