[QUOTE="offroadkarter, post: 15912044, member: 79484"] Depending on how crazy you want to go with the eaton swap, if you back it up with a nice exhaust you can make more power with less boost. I'm currently at 440rwhp on a very safe tune and it made 8.8psi on the dyno, used to be 10 until I put the 2 1/2" exhaust on. Already had the headers on pre eaton swap. The setup on there now is enough to blow the stock engine up, I know if I had more fuel it could probably be spun to 500 wheel. The 6spd is fun, it's been a constant headache because I always second guess my work. I'm about to flush out the mobil 1 ATF and put in some amsoil after doing a lot of reading on this site. My 3rd gear is very notchy when cold and takes a very long time for that to stop, I've read a lot of stories of terminator owners using a magnum having the same problem, amsoil is supposed to be the fix. I will say I do love the .50 6th gear, with 4.10's in the rear I can do over 90mph and hang at 2400rpm whereas a 4R70/75 would put you at 3000+. Realistically though if I had to do it all over again, I probably would have put a built/stalled auto in the car. I put 10,000 miles on the eaton swap in 2 years followed by 1000 miles in 2 + years with the manual trans, I'm still working stuff out related to the swap. The red car hasn't been a daily in a very long time, I wanted to do the ridetech's mainly because the eaton detroit lowering springs with stock tokico's made it ride like a log wagon. Loved how it looked but hated the ride quality on the highway, the black car with new marauder spec shocks and a 1" drop from a cut factory coil rides much better. I'm looking to keep the same ride height as the eaton springs (27" from ground to top of the wheel well arch) and play around with the rebound to smooth out the ride and compensate for the lower spring rate due to having less air in the rear bags. One thing I will suggest when you go eaton swap (aside from having a good tuner), consider a real trans cooler. I think the 4R70/75 will survive for a very long time as long as it doesn't overheat. Mine boiled the fluid from soft shifts and second gear was on its way out which is what prompted me to do the 6spd conversion. [/QUOTE]
