Other than the fact that the 4.8 makes no torque to begin with, spin that 4.8 up high. They like rpm and sound awesome at 6500+rpm. I like your drag pac setup and even with a built 4l60 its not gonna last.

There are a number of 1000rwhp 3500lb drag corvettes out there with built 4l65e's that have lasted...

The Bogarts look great. Rich is really good to work with. It took me 2 1/2 years to be able to afford mine. I also didn't want to grind and grind to get even 16's to fit. I have 15's on the back and 17's on the front. You can see a difference , but they look good. Like your build it will really kick butt when you get her back on the road. Was going to say get her done , but we are never done ............RIGHT. lol, heres i few picks of my Bogarts.
