These are my driving habits and style. Pedal to the floor and running hard often into my red line around 5-5500. I will tow some but I'm a pedal to the metal all the time Driver.

It is a fairly bare bones truck but I added my flare with a 400 small block with a hydraulic roller cam, lifters, rockers and ported larger valve Vortec heads. A ported 2"/50mm throttle body with spacer, and 454 BB injectors @ 90lbs running 32 psi a custom chip with long tube headers and a 2 into 1 then back to 2 dual exhaust. Also have adjustable fuel pressure regulator and a 255lph LT1 type fuel pump.

Motor should be making 400-500 ft. lbs of torque maybe 375-400 on horses at the crank.

Thinking I want 2000-2200 stall speed just to launch harder. It has 3.73 gears with 29-30" tall 20" rims and 10-12" wide contact patch on the tires. But the truck is lowered and most always street driven.

I had bought a Trans-Go #2 shift kit and the Corvette servo but never got them in.

It has an additional cooler and a remote filter as well.

Just want to spend the cash 1 time and get 3+ years of driving time. Its not a daily driver either.

I would like to have the 5 pinion planetary that the 4l65e uses for added piece of mind.

Firm crisp shifts are great. I would like the torque converter to lock up around 50 mph., unless I'm into the throttle and especially stay and hold @65-75. It has kind of jumped into and out of 4th lock up a lot, and come out under the lightest pedal pressure.


Who did you use?

Any warranty issues?

Good service?

Any failures?





Thanks,
Rob
