Damn that sucks!! You should have notched the frame!!!!!!! LMAO I better shut up, my little A/C tensioner will probably fly off now!
BTW, I got the LS2 intake and fuel rail headed my way Monday if anyone is in need of one.
looks good....but the stock 80e is slipping:confused:
transmissioncenter.net says the stock 80e is really only good to 400hp and I've clearly exceeded that. Time to beef it up some I guess. Do I beef up the HP robbing 80e or the light weight 60e? :eek: Talk about confused! :confused:
shoot man...just beef up the 80e...you already got the setup just needs a rebuild....you know that 60e wont make it far...
First bit of good news is I called Street and Performance and told them about their idler assembly failing and they said not to worry, a new set will be in the mail tomorrow! :rock: Have I said lately how much I like their customer service? :thumb:
I also ordered an ATSG manual and GM training CD on rebuilding the 80e. I'll check those out and then decide if I want to tackle the rebuild of the 80e or source out the rebuild work. For what it will cost for a rebuild I can buy all the tools to do it myself forever. Labor was quoted at $400 for a stock rebuild and higher if he installs the HD2 Transgo shift kit. Its supposed to be a pretty involved process to mod the 80e.
holy smokes 400 bucks for a rebuild !id take em in and out all day for that price.the best i could get from anyone local out of like 10 diff shops is 1000,bucks.i install and take it out ,wth.and thats on the 60e s.and red i think you probly could install the transgo kit ,cmon they have directions ,and its all in the valve body ,youlle have it out just put on a table and do it ,looks like a big sandwich.lol.good luck.
$400 plus parts. I've built about 6 or more 60e trannies. Not an real issue to do the Transgo kits.
LMAO. Ramsey--you crack me up sometimes!Quote:

Great news, the Street and Performance idler assembly arrived today. What can I say, not only do they have good looking parts but they also stand behind them. :rock:
