. Where's the fun and challenge of copying what thousands have done before u.. I'm all alone at the top of the Nissan performance truck scene.. I don't care how much money it costs I want to show people that trucks can be fast also.. Be nice to get some low 11's or maybe mid 10's after I build the motor for more boost. That'll probably be a nice stopping point

Jakes performance seems lime the goin ticket now. Never heard of any problems. And he can throw in a transbrake for ya.
Good luck on the swap, be nice to see when its all said and done.

Man I did a 4l80e in my truck it did not take long at all just a day to swap every thing and if u don't want to swap ur flywheel edge makes a stall that fits a 80 and takes a 60 flywheel but I think u should do the 80 flywheel because it's a 6 bolt flywheel where a 60 is a 3 bolt

ur saying a stock 4l80e could handle 1250-1300 CRANK HP??
Remember I'm building a stroker motor and upping my boost to 20lbs at a minimum i want 950-1000rwhp
thier are VK-56's out there right now with twin turbo's with 40-46psi on stock crank and stock heads with over 1,500rwhp.. true they arent on the dragstrip but they are on sand rails out in arizona in the desert.. The VK56 motor is a badmofo

A "stock shift kitted" unit will live at the 750-800 HP level IF its in good shape to start with.
Above that the trans will need some hard parts upgrades and more hydraulic mods.
For 1300 hp you will need a serious build.
Good luck.

The 4L80 is tough but not that tough.

with the money i'm saving from using Jakes performance for the trans I might have to give Hogan's Manifold's a call and get a custom aluminum manifold built.. the stock manifold on my truck is holding me back immensly by 40-65 rwhp the runners on the stock intake are way way too tall, which is good for low end torque but blow ***** after 5500 rpm's
