Looks good, thats an *** load of braided line under the hood though. You do antyhing special to keep the brackets from flexing or anything to keep the belt from chuncking like every other ATI silverado is doing? I like it though.

How hard was it to convert the LS1 to 1/2" head studs? Was it just a matter of drilling and taping, or did you run into anything crazy? Did you have to use a bottoming tap or anything? I think that's a good upgrade for some of you crazy dual power adder guys.


Are you guys planning on doing anything to solve the issue of where the procharger setup puts the filter?

Oh yeah, NICE TRUCK!!!

The only thing we have done so far is space the blower back about 30 thou. So far so good.

It wasnt to bad to do the 1/2" studs. We do have a custom tap that taps the bottom of the block. We have a lot of little tricks still to go (Induction); we are just getting it running for now.

One of our biggest problems right now is that dam ETC. I cant find a 2001 4L80E truck with an ETC any where. I dont know if it was offered. If anyone knows of a 2001 with a 4L80E and an ETC please let me know so i can drive this thing. All i can do right now is start it up and drive around the parking lot. . I might have to convert over to a manual cable TB.

DO IT!!!!

Any plans to offer a fuel cell with your 1000hp truck fuel system?

WHEN is the 4 link gonna be ready for sale?

Got any 4L80E conversion pieces in stock?

LOTS of questions.

You guys rock man, I'm glad we got some sponsors that are truckers too.

Shoot i grew up a trucker and converted to the F-body's. Sure if people are interested in a cell we can pritty much build what ever you guys want. I just hired a guy specificly for the suspension stuff. We might have something together by the end of the month at the earliest. The 4L80E converstion pieces are in stock but we build the tranies on demand. So far we have done about 3 or 4 full kits and a coupple just for parts.

My 4L80-E from Sean is going in, hopefully by next week or the week after. Everything look good. Also just got the Eaton locker and T/A cover from him as well going in tomorrow. Will be looking forward for the 4-link and 1000hp fuel system. Great doing business with you Sean. Thanks a lot.
