my 2000 ECSB 2wd weighed 5100 with all my junk in it... cleaned it out and it weighed 4700 with the STS and extra battery and other small stuff.
Still need to weigh it with the 4L80E in there now..
When i swapped the 5.3 for the 6.0 in my truck it was amazing as to how much more power it had. The LM7 on 5psi compared to the LQ4 on 5psi.
Not sure if you can compare it to the old BBC you have, but i hope it does surprise you at the track.
I tow alot with my truck and the LQ4 does have alot more low end compared to the LM7. Its possible that with the extra ~40ci the turbo spools faster at lower RPMs?
Im awaiting your videos and pics!!!

most g80 failures happen when you do donuts and drifting, i believe parish stated he didnt do much of that. straight line ok, turns under acceleration stress the ol gernade

So when are you going to pick me up? And btw Matt will have my friend's 408 done on Friday so no worries on borrowing the engine stand until then. If you need it longer, he can borrow my other one.
445hp @ 5300 rpms, 476lb-ft torque @ 3700rpms. Over 400lb-ft torque available from 2000-6000rpms with a final drop off around 6300rpms.

Eh, something came up at work, motor swap starts today, new deadline of Thursday
No more excuses. That 400 ft lbs of torque is all I can get out of this? 
I just got in from driving a stock 68 Hurst Olds. It has over 510 ft lbs of torque from idle to 4300 RPM's. It lays rubber at 80 MPH when it shifts into drive with the TH400 That with 2 guys in the car and both back tires. Let's see a 6L do that
