I wouldn't even think about modding my current truck anymore if I knew there was a bulletproof trans option(aftermarket or otherwise) for the SS trucks. A 4L80E is what they should've come with in the first place. GM screwed up on that one. 
Like I mentioned in the other thread though it would be better to keep the beefier 80e output shaft and modify the input of the transfer case.
Kurt - How about it?

the 2 cases i have(2500HD and a 1500 auto) look exactly the same on the out side, i am sure some of the internal parts are the same. maybe some research at the dealer would tell you too. only other thing i can think of is geting that input hub machined out to take the 4l80e shaft, can that type of machining be done?

I'm going to guess I added about 200-300 on the truck. If a stock SS ever comes by I will try and weigh it.

Kurt, I think you'll like that Gtech. I like mine. I dont have any current logged runs or any nitrous runs, but here are a couple of NA runs from a few months back:

I would not call that competition, unless you are happy with 350rwhp Besides, what kind of truck owner would place the air inlet for their expensive turbo in that location? I guess if you live in SoCal where it never rains or snows, and the roads are always clean, then it would be fine. I doubt the tubo would last very long before needing a rebuild if you drive in any kind if weather. And how does that filter keep the turbo from sucking water when it is really wet outside? Is there some kind of shield that goes under the air cleaner?
