yes, the 4L70E is something new for 06'.
as for the 14bolt rear, it has a few benifits. the ring gear is larger by almost an inch. the 14bolt has a much larger fluid capacity and stays considerably cooler during heavy load situations. i believe the 14 bolt rear also has larger axle bearings. i know the axle tubes are larger and built to handle considerably more load. with the right choice of parts in the 9.5 14' bolt i'd say it should be good well into the 10's.

They probably rob more power, but they can be built to take more power. I think the spline count on the axles is higher too.

man chevy needs to make a reg cab chevy ss. But they need to tweak the engine to make close to 500 hp. Chevy needs to beat the srt/10 truck and the lighting. If it beats the lighting good but if it makes one that beats the srt/10 even better. And they need to make that kind of power without the need of a supercharger. And they need to sell the truck for less than the srt/10.
