Default Smoketrails truck build

Hi I'm new to this site, I use it a lot and figured I would become a member.
Here is what I got!
Its a 04 chev rcsb black with 127K on it that I bought last year.
Mods I have done so far and parts I have got together.
It has a 4.8 with a comp 224-230 cam duel 660 springs stock block.
Trick stage 3 turbo kit 76-75 pe turbo stage 3 intercooler.
Have devils meth kit for it not installed.
Auto meter boost gauge and wide band.
15 gal fuel cell , 60 lb injectors that I think are to small and a wal 450 fuel pump that I am not going to use now do to fuel cell.
Derale trans cooler with the fan
Eaton posi
ordered th 400 trans a week ago.
Have some alum wheels that I got for 60 bucks 15x10 and put some mickey et street r tires on. Size is 325x50 profile.
Might be forgetting some stuff but that's most of it.
Have some pics of my progress .
I had this posted in the wrong spot so if it looks familiar that's why.

I got a djm drop figured I would try that with the new a arms the rear is not done yet I'm wanting to build my own 4 link for it this summer but the drop kit would be a 4-4. And these are my 60$ rims rears only and had some weight savings in the process to make em fit over the disks. Half a day of grinding checking more grinding and repeat.

This is the trans I am having built its a th400 with trans brake here are the specs they gave me it not all of it cuz I upgraded it a little.
Th 400 race with t brake, promod sprag, all power pack clutch sets, billet clutch hub, intermediate shaft and input shaft, premium overhaul kit, rollerized rear Allison style filter, tsi 10'' 3600 stall converter. This was rated to 1200 hp they said but I went for 1500 just in case for plenty of growth.
And the 4.8 will not stay but I want to see what I can get out of it and learn to tune on it.
Have not gotten a tuner yet. Hp tuners it will be but iv been reading up on the holly efi or fast system not sure if they will work or not. So my options are still open.

I went with the djm drop its a 4 inch front drop, rear is not on yet but its also a 4. Wanting to 4 link it.
So it would be a 4 in the front and 4 in the rear the kit they have is a 3-4 drop but my guys sent me the wrong stuff for the front and I would not wait for the 3 so I got 4 which was in stock.
That's why its 4-4.
If that makes sense lol!!

This last weekend did some work on it spare tire and hitch removed and eaton installed.
Removed the box and floor rails
Door side moldings are also off but the glue is a pain to get off
Need to get something that will clean it up.
I'm thinking about installing the th400 my self but not sure how long it will take or if its going to be hard to do its a full man valve body. so any enlightenment would be very nice before I hand over coin for something I could have easily done myself?
Thanks!!
