Well it took longer then planned(9:45 p.m. till 5:00 a.m.) but she is in. Had a quick snag thinking it was full of fluid but otherwise went well.
I don't want to beat on it yet with only 35 miles. But DAMN it feels as good as expected! My Tahoe now squeels them decent from a stop and easily power braked for a moment atleast. In the next few days I will post a before and after speedo/tach shot. In the last few days I was watching and at 3000-3200 it begins to pull so much harder so I think the 3200 is a perfect fit.
I also have a trans cooler from a duramaxx to install this week. I didn't have the factory fittings so I had to have them made. The lines from Chevy would have been $60-$80+ but my local hose shop charged me $24 and it is ready to go but I didn't have time to pick up the cooler with the new lines, so it will have to wait till monday.
Probably going to get a trans temp gauge as soon as I can afford one, especialy since a tow from time to time. Any recomendations?

Didn't get great video evidence of how much it took off my 0-60 but over a full second by my calculations.
Here is the before. Around 10 seconds.
Here is the after. Seems to be just shy of 9 seconds. God it feels so much better!

Stock engine, stall starts grabbing hard at 3000 and it slows it's roll some. She pulls much better then stock as to be expected before and after 3000. Certainly can use some more power but this truck will just get a turbo proably next summer after the HD is done.

On trying to do the EDC? It seems crazy expencive, Bolt on kits from suicide doors.com are like $1000! I can buy 480c for $260. One should be enough and later down the road I can add a second for faster fill times.
If I can get an EDC for around $300-$400 is when I would start considering it. Does anyone know what kind of CFM they put out?

They were installed in the cooler when I picked it up. Never oppened them up to see what he did inside the cooler. What I know he did was, braze the barbed fitting on the end for the hose and brazed the correct collared end for the cooler end with the o-ring onto 3/8 tubing. $24 and change and I was out the door!
