with a 408 behind it? It'll be fine. Put the 408 in front of it and it'll be a different story.

Ah, thats cool. It should be done in a few weeks then??

An escalade cluster will have a trans temp gauge and they are pretty cheap.

You going to an 80E? I would for sure if you plan on running any type of FI.
