Thanks man! Yeah, I'm hoping to get them installed today if everything goes well.

Got some pics of how we ran the Flex Fuel sensor and fuel lines underneath. Also had to move the trans cooler down behind the bumper vent to allow room for the LPE heat exchanger. Still need to give it a flush and install the 90's on it.

I did the first trans swap, 2 converters, installed the TVS, 40k cooler, efans, etc. at my Brother's Firestone shop. However, he got transferred and I no longer have access to a lift. I actually hooked up with this guy from the Chevy dealership. He's a GM Master Tech who rents a small shop in a hick town about 1/2 hr. south of me. He did my cam, new steering shaft, springs, pushrods, installed my IW pulleys, new header gaskets, Melling oil pump and a couple of other things for $600. This time he did my fuel system, Wilwoods, pulled the old trans, installed the new one, ran all braided lines, lowered my 40k into the bumper grill and changed the fluid in my transfer case and installed a new water pump for 1200.

Anyway, got her home a little while ago and Zippy nailed the start up tune right off the bat...she pulls REALLY hard. Tomorrow, my Brother and I will be installing the LPE exchanger, then going to try to get her dialed in.

Already reserved a trailer for next Saturday the 21...TRACK TIME - time to see what's up!

Thanks Rob!

Not really sure it would be in my best interest to show you how my truck is tuned since I am trying to beat your time this weekend 11.43
I will say this though, that transmission gearing is freekin awesome!
