For 13K I would buy a tranny for $5K, get some fuel supporting mods for $2K, upgrade the cooling system for $1K, spend $1500 on valve train upgrades and cam, and spend the last $4500K on a turbo system.
What the hell are you doing to the cooling system?

Youre in the vast minority that havent had problems with their G80, youre living on borrowed time or you never beat on your truck except in a straight line. Most people blows theirs playing around where traction is different between the two wheels. I blew mine taking off at WOT on the side of the road with a tire in the grass, other people in water and others nailing it around corners.

and you probably run in 4hi at the track. parish's while in the 10's lasted a long time in 4wd also. but one good 2wd play day and it was done.

i installed a 130ish g80 from a friends truck into mine when my detroit went out (due to broken axle), at the time i was 2wd (removed all the awd parts). i broke it and never went to the track. the walls that separte the side gears broke off. so now i went back AWD and a trutrac. i say its better to replace just it now instead of it and probably gears later.

Damn theres so many ways you can go.

Is this truck going to be a drag truck or a daily driver?

I would do like mentioned earlier and do a cam/springs and either Blower or a turbo with 10- 15 PSI.

And have a good trans built along with a triple disc precision industries converter.

Hell run the 5.3 you have , and if or when it gives up, you can pick another one up for around 500$ and then put some forged pistons in it and turn up the boost more!

Dont forget you'll need Gauges, fuel system upgrades, Exhaust .

You dont need to blow all your cash to make big power with an LS engine!!!!
