As others have said, great thread! The detail is helping me with my LS swap.
A question if you don't mind, on drivability.
I would love a "close ratio" T56 but looks like I am going to have to settle for a wide. Therefore, how do you find the gearbox in the truck? Can it pull 5th and 6th comfortably or does it feel uncomfortable? What rear end ratio are you running and height of tyres?
My LS is just a 5.3 so will be slightly differant in hp to your LS2 but would be good to hear your experiences.
Many thanks.
