First off. Really like your build!

Second thing. Reconsider your trans options...

There are plenty of colorado guys with V8 swaps on the factory 4L60E. I might swap it out down the line but for now it'll be fine.

Oh, PEDAL. I was scratching my head for a little bit.

Also, people seem to forget all too often that the 4L60E isn't by default a terrible transmission for handling any power. There are plenty of big-power builds using these transmissions. Generally weight is a factor in the failures we see all the time, and since the Colorado is a good deal lighter than a Silverado, it will take more power and abuse to kill it vs the GMT900 application.
