I drove the truck from Phoenix Arizona to San Diego/Santa Ana California this weekend. Did a no prep 1/8th mile track night Friday and went roll racing on the highway all night saturday and drove it back home sunday, stock trans is lovin it lol I'll upload a vid in a sec. Also picked up an l83 block from a buddy and am going to hopefully get the forged engine done this summer! Deciding if I want to do an f1a procharger or go turbo... I really like the procharger but I'm undecided 😞
It was pretty incredible how much better the truck ran in the Cali weather vs Arizona, it was roasting the tires from 40 rolls which it never does lol felt like it was movin!


















Tires after blazing them a bunch of times on the freeway lol

What do you think of the E/T Pros vs E/T Street S/S? I have the 295/65r15 S/S and was thinking of getting the Pros as my next set but being a newish tire i havent seen anyone using them.

Your right about the lack of HP parts for the 6L80's. I just ordered every HP part that Sonnax makes to do an upgrade in mine getting it ready for Boost. The Line pressures in these are very very low which contributes to the lack luster holding power they have.

They did not work for me as good as the older et street did man, didnt work on my buddys truck either compared to the old et street. You can still get them on amazon/ebay but they are marked up quite a bit lol
