Alky Control Methanol injection
Frozenboost heat exchanger
ARH 1-7/8" headers with catted Y pipe
OEM 4" Duramax exhaust
Coan 2800 stall triple disc lock up converter (locks in 3,4,5,6 at WOT)
Caltracs
3.73 gears
Eaton posi that's exploded twice
15x10 rims with 315/60 ET Street Radials

It's capable of quicker but keeps chewing up spider gears, fastest time I've gotten out of it was 11.81 @ 116.81 mph with a 1.62 60' on a 3.25" pulley on pump gas only.

Do you think a diff cover with a girdle will help, or do you already have one of these? It appears that I'll have to get a 4l80e shortly.

Nice to know! I'm pretty sure mine is around 230 at the wheel if I had to guess. Mighty turd-like. My biggest concern besides the trans and driveshaft was finding a fueling solution that would work with the factor FSCM, FPCM whatever they want to call it, but after chatting with byrdman, I'm a lot more comfortable with it, after I slip a Walbro 450 in the tank.
