4L80E to begin with, that has a 2.70:1 first gear at least
9.25" front diff
9.5" rear axle

Larger brakes to go with those 20" wheels.

I'd prefer a 400hp 6.0 HP but that way detuned 345hp will suffice.
I agree the SS could stand to have beefed-up trans and gears. GM's stock brakes work pretty good, but bigger ones would look cool. I think if GM did those upgrades the horsies in the motor would go up too. I like Allen's 420hp suggestion.

No joke about "way detuned" on the SS. I'm just learning Edit, and the timing and torque reduction settings are laughable. I'm no tuning expert, so I won't have an awesome tune (like Allen's) for quite a while since I'm taking small steps. (Also cost me more, but I'm mostly a d-i-y kinda guy.)
I definitely agree that the stock tuning is weak.

But, aside from the wishlist, I still love my SS. It's an awesome truck!!
