I love the...."kinda" part of that!

 

My stock trans lasted till 128K, that was 3K after I got ahold of it

Thats realy not a bad time for no more than what is done, you will really like it with a cam and a few more supporting mods for that engine to breathe

 

I got a few supporting mods lined up for the winter. I'm gonna gather some parts up and hopefully get a solid mid 13 out of it when it's all done.

 

What is your goal? Stock driveability and good performance?

 

Yep! I gotta be able to drive it everyday. I like it too much not to. That's kinda why I took the nitrous off of it. I didn't mind it when I had a spare 6.0 sitting on the floor, but now that the 6.0 is in and I don't have a spare, I don't want to chance it. I gotta get a trans soon, so I can take out some T/M and lean on it a little harder. I have a pretty conservative tune right now. I'm thinking some headers and a trans and a few other goodies. I'm kinda thinking it will go mid 13's without opening it up for a cam swap. I have very few bolt on's now, only a catback and AEM intake.

 

Congrats on the 1st run with the 6.0, is that an lq9 or lq4 you have. I think your times are right on with the extra cab and thats a great start. What are your plans for the future? I cant wait until I get mine to the track; I never raced other than a few runs here and there on the street. It seems I always tell my self Ill go to the track when I get this done or that done. I still want to finish up the tuning, get rid of the flowmaster, and get some smaller lighter rims before I go.

 

I will be following your build closely. My stepdad wants so more tq to tow his tractor with his 00 ecsb 5.3 and I told he should let me put a 6L in it with a small cam and tb stall, it seems you pretty much are going to be building what he is wanting. Best of luck to ya

 

It's an LQ4. I'm thinking some LT headers, maybe electric fans, etc., and some stickier tires.

Thanks! I don't think I'd do too much towing with this converter, but I don't tow anything and for just driving around it's great. They say you can tow with it, but I'm not sure I would choose the 3000 if I was towing regularly. I'll be keeping it very "Driveable". That is my main concern. I can't wait to see how your deal turns out.

 

Good job Badmofo. Wish I still had my yank. I let it go eith the old truck.

 

don't want to jinx it...but...I'm about to roll past 190k on my 4l60e...shift pak only...
