Oh yeah, by the way, I don't hate you, just really really jelious!
We are in Chatsworth CA. Both options, Turbo / or supercharged 6.0 are great ideas! Let us know if you want to come out.

That looks awesome.
I've got a question for the 6.0 swap guys. How is the stock 4L60E holding up with the 6.0? I've got a friend looking to do a 6.0 with a cam, LTs and maybe a small amount of headwork and possibly a converter in his 03 Z71 and still run his stock transmission. I would expect that setup to be awful hard on it.

Umm yeah... those have NO timing up top so they trannies don't get hurt as much. That BS TqMgt I firmly believe causes many problems by dumping line pressure as RPMs increase...just the OPPOSITE of what you want.
Jorday... I don't think it'd crap out real quick if it was beefed up w/ the TransGo and the Fairbanks billets. Those help A LOT. He will then have the motor the Z71s should COME with stock. I forsee a rebuild imminent if he drives crazy.
