carb'd 355 sbc in 96 tahoe

[CLB BLZR]

i built a motor from a 99 Denali stripped down and built it up to go in my Tahoe the concern im having is my friend and i did this in his 93 full-size blazer both of us having the 4l60e trans he bought a TCI TPS and works and all but i do not like the way his shifts also he has a a rebuilt trans with torque converter and other ****

i wanted to know the best possible way to get all my 500hp to the wheels and i didn't want to dig a hole in my floor for the trans 4wd shifter

You're going to need to build a 4L60E to handle 500hp...no ifs, ands or buts about it. I'm not sure what you'll need for electronics since you're OBD2, but a stock 4L60E will not hold up to 500hp. That's a fact.

Why carb it rather than keeping fuel injection? I kept my TBI with my roller Vortec 357 build.

i wanted something different for all the shows around here everyone has fuel injected motors whether there old ass motors with new electronics or new motors in old ass trucks i love the simplicity of injection but the ease of carbd over powered that its one less electrical problem to have the full size my buddy and i built has a stage 2 4l60e trans and i dont like the way it shifts or the shift points on it he wants me to do a 700r4 4x4 trans i dont want to pop a hole in my floor but i think i might have to due to having push button 4x4

if i dont like it carbd its an easy swap back to injection

Built 4l80e!

 

[CLB BLZR]

What are the advantages of the 4L80E over the 4L60E ? Could I put vette servo in the 80?

 

[DRAGGIN95]

They are all kind's of different servo's available for an 80 also, and the advantage is that when built right it will last behind some decent power where a 4l60e won't.

In a nutshell, 80E's have heavier duty steel components where 60E's have lighter duty aluminum components. 60E's have wider gearing and less parasitic drag at the cost of durability.

I didn't like either option so I went NV4500.
