The new location will be right in front of the water pump with the A/A intercooler up front in the grill. The kit will use electric fans. I wasn't really on a site seing tour, so I didn't take a camera. Kurt is considering becoming a sponsor here with the release of the Silverado Turbo kits. The kits will include fuel upgrades and tuning as part of the kit as far as I know. More to come from Kurt (427).

are they located in Ohio?

I'm guessing the output shaft on the trans would have to be custom to fit the AWD transfercase??

Kurt, you get me an output shaft on a 4L80E that will mate with the NVG149 transfer case, and I'll buy it. I'll take care of the tuning, electronics, driveshaft lengths and trans supports. I can probably find quite a few other who will too.
I hear Rossler makes a good transmission. Let us know if it gives you any issues.

The truck that Reckless rode in makes 600hp 660tq (from my memory).
