    Quick update. Ok, my driveshaft is getting a slip joint put in it and will be ready tomorrow ($200). I got the shift rod shortened one inch and it fits perfect. Holes are drilled for the new trans crossmember location. The new 5.3 harness is in and is having the finishing touches put on it tonight. My cam, tuned ecm, and lower bellhousing all came in today. I think if the converter would have come in on time I could have gotten this thing running and driving this weekend but oh well.

    I think our trucks are gonna end up very similar, we'll have to line'em up once I slap mine back together. Should be done with it around mid June. Let me know how you like that revmax, I'm still undecided on a converter.

    Ya we can definitely line em up for a little fun. If you go with everything in your sig I'll think you'll smoke me. I'm runnin stock TB, gears, and have a 4l80e anchor. Maybe by June I'll throw on a little spray or somethin. I'm hopin this smaller converter makes a difference in parasitic losses cause I don't wanna be gettin beat by stock 5.3 trucks.

    I think a lot of people are curious about how this RevMax will work since they are so cheap and nobody really has one. From my research everyone that has one loves and it everyone that doesn't have one says they are probably crap and say you should go with a circle d or yank or some other company they know and that are outrageous. I talked to RevMax on the phone and they seem legit, like they know what they are talkin about, and that their customer service is pretty good (although my converter is late). It's supposed to be built with superduper forged carbon Kevlar billet titanium heavy duty high strength bullshit and even if it doesn't it's got a warranty and if they screw me on a warranty I'm only out $300 instead of $900 from yank.
