Shouldnt be but a few more days till I can fire it off with the turbo on it. gotta wrap some A/C stuff and a few other things so they won't melt and then do a little tuning.

Just saw this and realized I didn't answer lol. I'm having great luck with my 6L80E in my G8. Totally stock tranny has taken over 30k miles of abuse at over 600 to the wheels. Shops like LMR love them, but are having trouble at over 1100RWHP about smoking the 3-4 clutches. I've been doing a little dabbling with a partner at using the electronic clutch to clutch system so that there will finally be a transbrake on the market for them. Right now the 4L80E has more to offer performance wise until the aftermarket brings just a few more nice things to the table on the 6 speeds.

Also the GT91 is going on a 400 small block Chevrolet in an 88 Monte Carlo SS. Thats a future project though.
