$1100 for an intake and $6000 for a pair of turbos?

Bro. Stop [laugh]

The stock truck intake is still able to support like 1500hp and only has one throttle body that I don't have to buy since I already have it ;D

My current problem is the McLeod Racing 4l80e rebuild kit is on indefinite back order :(

Going to try TCS today and cross my fingers.

Yeah, not all of us are ballers like Ryan.  ;D

Is this thing done yet?

By some definition, yes ;D

Yeah, but the turbos quiet the engine down enough that you'd save a veritable fortune on mufflers.

I don't see any way you could afford to not do it.

Clearly I have picked the right group of friends

The 4L80e has been abandoned and already sold.  With no ability to get a rebuild kit for big torque it was a no go.

The new plan A is to grab a Stage 4 TH400 from FTI.  Full manual valve body with a transbrake.

There you go. A 400 will take about anything you'll throw at it.  ;D

Stage 4 good for 900hp :D

Billet input shaft into a Ford AOD nets ~1200hp with lower parasitic loss.  400 hydraulic pumps eat a lot of HP…

Plus it adds an overdrive, so that’s another benefit.  The info I shared was old, so maybe there are newer & better options out there.  IIRC, the front pump of a TH400 was a 66hp liability.  :P

I did some reading and read 45 or so.

Honestly half of my resistance is that it's an AOD lol. I suppose I could look at a 700R4 which I think is a TH400 upgraded to an overdrive unit.

I'm not sure I would need overdrive anyway.  I can tell you this thing is not going to spend much time on the highway.
