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

Bro. Stop laughingdp

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 Grin

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

Going to try TCS today and cross my fingers.

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.

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.  Grin

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.  Tongue

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.
