Move to a 3.73 gear with that 80E turbo setup and in your heavy truck you will like it. I had the same basic setup and it was great for just about everthing. I had a very tight Yank SC 3000 with it. Spooled my 78mm 347ci setup very quickly. What are you going to do about electronics and a converter? Who makes such an animal? I'm assuming you'd go to a standalone trans controller?? Very interesting swap. Curious to see how it will pan out. Truck should be all around faster with the 80E as well.

least be half a second faster imo with a transbrake installed.. i kept getting shitty 60's cause i couldnt get boost off the line without making the whole assend of my truck bounce and want to launch forward, the damn brakes wouldnt hold it..
12.39@109mph isnt bad for summer weather imo.. i think change out the trans = 11.8's easily.. also I plan on using a standalone controller for the Trans and paddle shifters..

Dont get too excited about having transbrake. I have it on my 4l80e and I hate it, it takes a long time to disengage. I've gotten nothing but shitty 60'
Here's a thread talking about it.

i think a 4l80e with a full manual conversion like this one is probably going to be your best bet:

should be an interesting conversion..
