HP/TQ goals?
Turbo?
Nitrous?
Supercharger?


550rwhp and less with the right tune i dont see the 6spd being a bad option. 575+ you better hope it holds up in a brick. I do not abuse my truck, i make a few passes and im done. I make 400rwhp with mine and its fun to drive. Search for my thread it gives you a list of parts and what i used. I recommend you use a harness from a 2007 denali to keep you from changing sensor plugs and stuff like i had to.

Pm if you have any questions that my thread doesnt explain
