I'm doing the same thing you are. I've got my t56 swapped in already, probably take it to texas drivetrain performanc and have it level 3'd just for the wieght of the truck and extra torque of the engine. I'm building a lq9 .030 over with a btr stage IV truck cam and ls6 springs, mostly stock everything else in the engine. Right now its got headers, efans, a sloppy tune by me, 4.56 wit a tru track in the back. My engine should be right around 10:1 compression, I'm gonna file the piston ring gaps to about .019-.020 for some mild boost down the road. I'm just building a fun driver.

I think you're cost could be about the same with the 4l80 and the t56 swap. My swap ran around 3500 bucks, there are some tools I had to buy. I did everything myself, rebuilt the t56 Level 2 style with a shifter relocation kit, re gear the diff with a trutrack. I found a LT1 style t56 for 700 bucks and converted it to a LS1 style. I dont think I'll ever find a deal like that again.

i have a lq9 with a ls3 top end. Did the build two years ago about. I am running stock gears in the back and a 4l60e but that will change because i want a t56 in it as well and 4.10 gears. I will probably get the gears and posi done this year. My thread is black lsx if you want to look at the build. It pulls like a beast up top but lost just a shade down low since i am not running the truck intake and also have ls3 heads.
