Yea mine has the external slave...not sure of the actual gear ratio. I know it has one hell granny gear tho.
Finally got my heads back from TEA and started assembling! After a long weekend she runs! It still is a long way from being done, but I couldnt resist hearing it run. First start up, open headers- http://youtu.be/VlzXut3D6YU
Damn that sounds good!
Is the reverse gear too low? That's my only concern because reverse is supposed to be the same ratio as 1st/granny and 6.34 is really low.
It's been a while since Iv driven it, but I don't remember reverse being too low. 1st was so low that I hardly ever used it unless I was towing
Got the exhaust fabbed up using the exhaust that was on the truck and a few other pieces Layin around. 3" Into a 3" x-pipe, dual 3" magnaflows.

Little pic I snapped of my heads after I got them back from TEA :)
Gonna sound good! Get that thing on the road already!
well guys shes on the road! Got if finished up saturday...took a lot of tuning to get it running half decent. But man is she running great now! it will blow the tires off at 50mph! I raced my old 08 sierra with a 370 LY6, 4.11 gear, 3200 stall, etc and flat blew its doors off! I hope to get the tuned dialed in and hit the dyno soon...im thinking itll put down around 450-470rwhp. The NV4500 DOES NOT like high rpm 1-2 shifting lol it will not go into 1st or 2nd gear at anything over about 3500 rpm. 3rd and 4th seem to shift flawlessly at high rpm. All my factory gauges work except the tach...not really sure why. It only goes to 5000 rpm anyways so i planned on going with an aftermarket tach.
I snapped a few pics of the somewhat finished install. Still need to clean up some wires and do a few other little things. Here she is

That's awesome! Videos of said race or it didn't happen... And blowing tires of at 50 as well.
What's the final spec list on the swap?
Must be tons of fun! You could also get a 96+ gauge cluster and put it in. The vortec sbc had a red line of 6000. I found a police cluster locally with 6K redline and 130MPH speedo that I will be using. If you get I think 98+ you have to solder a jumper for it to work. There's lots of info on this on the forums (not just this one).
Yea I def need to get some videos! I'll work on getting some for yall to watch.
Is the 96+ cluster swap a direct swap???
Unless you go above 98, it is. After 98 or 99 you have to add the jumper on there. You can also swap over the odometer so the mileage reads the same.
