I'm just sayin'.....if I went to the trouble of building something like that....forged 370 with a 122....I'd be wantin' to have me some fun....and in the process of havin' the aforementioned fun...I'd be concerned about the weak link...and I only see one weak link in this particular equation....

The key might be to keep it in AWD when I plan on tearing it up...dunno...I'd say its the same as with the tranny - there are some out there that have done fine with the 4L60-65 level 5 in our HP range and others that burn thru them. If I planned on lots of track time, it'd already be dealt with, but its my daily driver/hiway truck. Except for squishing BMW's & occasional Vet a run for its money, the plan is to avoid the track - at least regularly!
That said point made and now I'm worried - and wondering where I'm gonna find ANOTHER $2k for that!
