65e or 80e?????
Well my 70e is starting to slip already. 2000 miles on the blower and its on its way out. I dont know what to do, im torn. For those of you who dont know, im running a 06 Crew Cab Vortec Max. 6.0L, Radix, 3.0 Pulley, and there will be a GT2-3 cam in there soon.
Before the cam i dynoed at 425hp/470tq at the wheels. I plan to put the cam, and either meth or small shot of nitrous.
I have two choices i guess. Do a built 4l65e, and have it built to the max......or do a decently built 4l80e along with the conversion package. I know the 80 is pretty much bullet proof and its probably the way i should go but ive heard some stories of MPG loss, slower acceleration, it weighs more, and it will suck up more power. I just want to do minimal work without a ton of modifying.
What does everyone think? The way i have seen it, it looks like i could do a 80e for about he money of the 65e and id need a converter for both as well.

I estimate my truck being at the 500 at teh wheels mark soon with mods i listed above. Vince from FLT doesnt seem to think their level 5 will be up to par for that kind of power. He says that will be running on the ragged edge.
Send me the PM...i dont mind.
