that will work just fine..you can honestly probably decrank the stock keys 1" to get the 3" with the spindles..just have to make sure you are running bigger than 16s as spindles wont work with 16s, hence part of the reason i went with the arms and keys

Big moves this week. Have had a few of the parts for a while but ill have most of it by the end of the week. Probably forgetting a bunch of stuff, its been a busy 2 days of lining up and ordering stuff.
Lq9 and 4l80e with 45k and 47k on them
Tbss intake, 90mm TB, Adj. FPR (pump will blow through vette filter option)
799 heads
34" radiator and OEM fans
Walboro 400 w/42 lb injectors
Put my order in with TSP.
Should be running 11:1 compression. Est. 400-410 to the wheels. 4l80e eats up quite a bit, would be closer to 440-450 with a 4l60e im told. Not really worried about numbers as im just looking for something fun to drive and beat up on a few vehicles that think they are fast. 4x4 and traction will be my friend.
Need to order a converter (3600, not sure on brand), transfer case input shaft and seal, get my rear shaft shortened and buy a new front shaft. 40k tru cool and trans lines as well.
Also LTs and ORY, cutout pipe and electric cut out, muffler etc.
Trying to decide on wheels yet. I would rather have 20s for performance wise (tires, sidewall) but i cant really find any I like. I cant get away from the TBSS wheels.
Its getting there. It needs to be all together and running by the first week of May. Needless to say ill have a busy month and a half

Got all of my tcase and trans parts on the way.
Going to order a Circle D Pro Series 258mm multidisk 3500. Figure I should go multi disk in case i ever tow or WOT lock up.
Have some headers lined up, fuel pump, injectors etc. Almost have all of the parts finally.
Decided on 22" TBSS Polished Reps with a 275/40/22 Nitto 420s. They are a little over 30" tall, which is more than I wanted but it will give me a little more sidewall.

This is not far off, I forget the exact numbers but the SyTy guys do a lot of 80e conversions because with the turbo and AWD they eat 60e's alive (actually 700r4's)..
Anyhow, one guy that does his research did a dyno, swapped an 80e and another dyno run..
Obviously some consideration needs to be accounted for because of the time frame this all happened but the results he posted were at best, negligible, especially when you consider what the piece of mind from running the 80e is worth...
