and GMC, you need to stop arguing in my thread everyone knows that building a 5.7 is better than a 6L hahaha, it is a significant increase, but I disagree with it being the "best bang for the buck"
What a minute, a 6.0 is better...

well for that matter, I disagree with ANY motor swap being the best bang for buck.... unless you own a salvage yard.

I still hold to nitrous being way better as far as hp/$

not exactly, I just turned it around in the yard and backed it up where I was working on it, I've gotta re-shim the rear before the bed goes back on...

I put it in D, which defaults the 80E to 2nd gear (withouth proper tuning), and had to lean on the throttle a bit to make it move, I was like WTF now!!!! but then I remembered I've got a tune to try, and it should work until I get my seg swap back from HPT, the bad thing is, its a 1 bar tune, mine is set up for 2 bar OLSD so I'm just going to fail the MAF in the tune and be careful with it and setup the VE rich.... but once my tune comes back, I'll be in good shape. I just need to get it driving and get some break in miles on the new motor/converter/turbo, this should work for that.

Im not trying to start a poo flinging contest but why do you feel that way? Im new to tuning my own stuff and went with EFI live because of the options. Is HP tuners easier to use? Im sure it is just individual choice.
