damn I want a Fedex truck! my little shortbed would cook the hides with that kinda power, I couldn't imagine what injectors and a tune would produce
correct except the cp3 is at the back of the motor and runs off the flywheel.

I assume you'd only want a 4L80E/ NV4500 if you plan on using all that power.
simply put it wouldn't hold up. you cna do a 4l80e or nv4500 they would be fine for it.

also vortec you might want to consider doing a water meth kit, it will give you the same cooling results and at the same time better mileage.
