I've been watching Richard at Precision transmission on YouTube, and the 6L80 is definitely out of my league. The snap ring holding the center support is enough to scare me!! I wish I could take the Tahoe to him and have him build it, but he's not in Colorado unfortunately. I am looking for one that's built to take up to 700 horses, I am only expecting 600 horses or so once I add a supercharger. I've been running into issues finding one that's complete, my searches come up just parts I'll need.

So..... I mentioned my shift flares and worries about my 170k trans with the extra added 100 HP from the new engine. I got to thinking.... When was the last time I cleaned my non oil type air filter... It was the summer BEFORE my original engine ate it's valve seat! Well living in Colorado, you can only imagine how clogged up the filter was. I cleaned the filter and removed at least 2lbs of dust and bugs... Since cleaning it, the shift flares are completely gone. Maybe the old 6L80 still has some life in it yet! I just need it to last at least 6 more months....
Fellow members.....Remember to keep your air cleaner and maf clean!!

Better change your cabin air filter then. The system might work better if it can breathe too.

I did a thing..
I traded the 06 Sierra Denali in for this!! It has 42k on it and is something I've always wanted. Now that I have this, I can give the Tahoe a MUCH needed break, because the trans is on its last leg. It's playing shifting roulette these days!!

I have been thinking about that.... Like bring him a 6L90's 6 pinion input planet, and have all the sonex goodies put in as well. I *think* the Tahoe could make it there... Most of the issues I'm having are 1-2 shift is soft, sometimes hard, it flares....2-3 flares quite a bit, 3-4 is very lazy and soft. I usually don't get to 6th because of city driving and 6th is locked out till after 55mph or so in my tune.
