thanks brother!

Update:

Starting the project today

I've got everything I need to complete the install minus a TBSS or SSR Evap/Purg Valve and a bracket that's being made.

Currently fabbing mounts for the CTS-V heat exchanger, has taken me a while to figure out a way to mount it I'll be happy with.

Thanks BC for all the assists!

Hey, Moregrip,

Did you modify your 4l80e's pump to work with the PI converter? I'm looking at going with the 10.5" 3000 myself with the 80e.

Here's a picture of it courtesy of Bill Reid. It's the red spring and apparently you have to grind down that notch to get the spring to fit over it.

Here's a quote from Vince @ FLT. If I'm reading this correctly Parish ran without the spring mod just fine. If everything works fine without the mod, I'd rather not tear into anything.

Also, I see you have the 2800 stall speed. How do you like it? I've read the 3000 is a lot like stock just driving around normally but is really nice when you get on it.

Thanks

(just picked this up last night - happy as a tit)

I did not do that step when I put in the shift kit with the stock converter. California Performance Transmission built my current tranny and prior to the build I told them what converter I was running. That's all I can say about it, sorry not much help. Congrats on your new parts!
