I see in your sig you got a modded 4.8 with a 5sp. I have a stock 4.8 with the 5sp right now and have an Ls1 on a stand I'm collecting parts for that will eventually go in. I was wondering how your tranny seems to be holding up to your mods and what kind of power you estimate you have? And how many miles has it had with a modded engine up front? You still running the stock clutch? I'm not so much afraid of the +75 or so HP/TQ but more wondering just if I could take this engine a little farther before I put it in. If this is hijacking your thread sorry, PM me back if you please.
Stock clutch w/70K is holding up well. As far as the trans, it held up until about the time I got the traction bars. Once they went in it seemed like the front end was almost wanting to come off the ground shifting from 2nd to 3rd, not really but it really was jumping hard and I thought "Wow, I wonder how long that's going to last". Anyway a couple of months later I started losing the 3rd gear synchro, so I'm not sure about how long it will last for you. The consensus generally is that it is not very strong and the trans shop says there isn't really any parts available to beef it up or change ratios. The way to do it right is to do the 6-speed conversion.

So I'm of course happy to oblige. Sure enough it turns green and guns it so hard that he got almost a half a car ahead of me even though I was expecting it. So I nail it and spank his *** appropriately. Stock 4 cyl PT probably so it was ugly and he lets off about 45. Well, he catches up to me and he has his windows down and starts yelling at me at the top of his lungs while we're cruising. "Well if I knew you wanted to race, I'd go home and get my bitch! This is a 4 cylinder assmunch!!" I'm not totally sure what he meant but he was pretty hostile and it didn't make sense because he was the one that started racing first. I just thought it was weird and wondered if anyone had a similar experience. I've done a lot of street racing but I've never seen anyone get even remotely angry about getting spanked.



What a douche bag! I would have swerved in his lane. That always pisses them off.
