vb upgrade, possibly 500bhp. I'm using 2 tranny coolers and a 2800 stall. Mild setup to say. So that combined with the vb upgrade should hold for street driving.

Subscribed. Interested in seeing what needs to be done to get the stock tranny to work with the swap.

Nice. Will the 5 spd still retain E-Shift? What diff will you be using?

Yes we will still use the e-shift function. I love that option on my car. Really, its all about keep the tranny cool to the best degree. I'll have to see if I will benefit from 376 or using the stock differential.

Good luck with the build, sounds like it's going to be a beast

Careful with the oil filter relocation kit. I had one and it got too close to the steering shaft. Made quite the mess driving down the road. . . .

Yea, I was under the hood today looking for the ideal spot for it. I think next to the shock tower wall will be okay. Did u use the trust unit?
