Tons of questions....
I hope someone has answers.I have a 01 silverado 2500hd 2wd a 6.0l with a intercooled radix, headers,custom exhaust,k&n cold air, bbk throttlebody,radix tune from superchips,6/8 djm drop kit and a powertrax locker on the truck now. To be installed are slp 1.8 rockers,granetelli MAF and I want more boost. Heres the questions.. Is 8lbs the most i can run? What do I need to do to install a shift kit and torque converter in a 4l80e(programming)? I was thinking either 2500 or 3000 stall ,which one? Also is there any cams available that will help my set up or is custom grinding the best way and will the 1.8 rockers help or hurt? My goal for the truck is high 12s with stock bottom end is this possible with out head swap? Any suggestions on how to achieve this? Any and all help is much appreciated!!!

I wouldn't get the MAF unless you know how to tune for it. Also, if your wanting a Cam, I'd wait on the SLP rockers as well. You'll want at least a Trans Go HD-2 shiftkit in your 4l80e, run stock trans line pressures with it, and I recommend removing TQ management.
I need to see some pics of your truck man! post them up already!
As for boost, I'm seeing 7lbs stock with a 3.1" pulley. You'll need a good tuner in your area to dial all these mods in
Hope that helps you some

The MAFS you currnetly have installed stock is the same 85mm used on the 4.8, 5.3, 6.0 and the 8.1L and the 01 and 04 Corvette Z06 engines. The stocker isnt a problem, it flows good enough. Save your money.

I found a place locally to program my truck but im waiting for all the mods before i take it in. Once i do the trans ,do i need programming and also Ive been told NOT to run a shift kit with a performance tune but that was through a old skool guy. Thanks

I have the Hughes deep pan, very nice piece, there is a bracket that you will need to bend slightly to get it to fit, but thats not a big deal at all.
