The 80E is the stoutest trans I have ran yet but I wouldn't think about upgrading unless you break what you have. The 80E swap is a lot of work, will cost $$$, take more power, and add weight.

if i get a circle-d with ls1 bolt pattern i don't need a flywheel and spacer, right? just need mount, shafts, input shaft for t-case and wiring? i have a tune that was made years ago for me for 4l80e (4l80e patch).

why does everyone say 80e cost so much? im looking at 1000 with a tune and all parts. thats with a 04 80e with 24k on it. i see some people talking about spending over 3 grand to do it.

For a 4wd you have to get the tcase gear which is 300, then another driveshaft for the front which can range in price so about 150. I paid 800 shipped for my 4wd 80e and 100 for the shift kit, when it was all said and done I probably had 15-1600.
