stock ported manifold. For what Im doing with the truck at this stage fast manifold is not needed. I have a feeling im going to put spray on it like on my tbss... Ive done a lot of spray set ups on ls trucks and they work so goodl. Hell i had it on my wifes tbss for 2 years. Street race at least 2-3 times a month and went thru quite a few bottles no issues at all.

Intake
LT1Z tune
Muffler
yank stall
50 shot
11.9@112

truck went 12.8@104 only mod being yank 3600 converter nothing else changed (lt1z tune for trans with verter in it)
13.3@103 stock on drag radials

Which Yank and which tranny builder for the Esky??


no i was talking about my tbss.

my ctsv 6l90e i had circle D build me one along with their 3000 converter and the car runs great. If trans goes on escalade im having circle D do it also and since I tow im not going to change the converter. I could do a 2800 but honestly dont feel like dealing with it.

I didn't realize the stock 6l80 could withstand 100hp+ NOS. I'd love to do this but want the tranny built first.

its all in the tuning. there are guys in low 12s all day long with the 6l80e on performancetrucks.net. Im trying to get my buddy to race me with his tbss which I think tomorrow night we will hook up. He went 13.0@103 on his awd tbss so will be a good indication of how much the mods help.

Changing the coils is a waste of cash. Doesn't do anything.
