Awesome truck! How long did the swap take? Have you done any tuning yet?

Very nice, how does it feel with the extra weight off the front end?

All together the swap took us about 25-30 hours over 3 days. Once I figure out what limited slip to put under it, I will go to the track. I need to start working on some footage for the LS1 truck video.
Hey 03GMC. I'll be coming back to Houston a few times this coming week. We should meet up as Im driving through Willis.

SierraSport, I still have the 4.8 sitting in my shed. I plan on keeping it around for a little while just incase something bad happends to the LS1. Im sure I will put it up for sale eventually.

It does feel a little lighter going into corners, but it might just be a mental thing. I did notice the front end came up about 3/4". Now its not level cause it sits alot lower in the rear
