Its definitely a satisfying feeling. Plus even better knowing I didn't need have to spend money for someone else to put it on. If there's a problem, I will more
Likely know how to deal with it because I put it together

Back on my build. Bought a 3.0 pulley but before I install that, I decided to upgrade my transmission. I'm having a level 4 Gearstar transmission built for me with the new sonex smart drum. Bought a Yank 2800 stall Sc series torque converter.
Both units built to order. Got conformation my TC was drop shipped to GS where they are going to install and dyno them together before they send it to me.
Uninstalled my PML deep trans pan and sent it to GS to install to my trans.
Ordered a Circle D aluminum flex plate and revived it today.
Went and bought various comports to replace while trans is going to be out, oil pan gasket, rear main seal plate assembly, motor mounts, transfer case gaskets, seals.

Good to see you're back at it. You have the 4l80 trans, right? Also, I didn't see you doing a cam. Any plans on doing one?

Every time I think about mounting a S/C that anemic 5.3 gets in the way. For a couple grand more 6.0-6.2-6.3

Pulley down on a 5.3 and you will have more power than your trans can handle.
I'm curious if that fancy flexplate is going behind a 4l80 as well. Looks stronger than the cranks in our engines lol.

Got antsy looking at my 3.0 pulley. I decided to install it. New trans just got done being built and is on its way. Did a quick off the line pull. Gauge peaked at 12 psi.

Not anytime soon. After trans I'm going to replace front struts, upper control arms, upgrade the sway bars maybe Larger brakes and rotors.
I didn't do a 4l80. Too much needed to convert. I ordered a level 4 Gear Star 4l65E built up to handle 700hp and had them install the new Sonex Smartdrum that just came out not long ago. The smart drum is a badass piece of technology someone came up with. The 4l65e had newer and updated parts than the 60 and it's a direct bolt on no conversions needed.
