Hello, you must be running a Diesel... With the powerband of the V10 I can't see any reason to launch it in 4wd.

That whole block was engineered by Katech for the Corvettes that won 24hrs LeMans. Very reliable and strong but expensive. The other cheaper way was to get a resleeved LS1 stock block which had lots of problems in 2001 when they just started doing that. So far I have 50000 miles on the engine with no major problems other than broken valve springs.

I'd like to race mine once I get the Kenne Belle on there.

So this begs the question: What kind of race cars do you guys have?

This is my toy... It's a 98' GTP with a turbo 3800. Our company deals specifically with aftermarket performance parts for the 3800. Note the F150 towing it. 120,000 miles on the original 300 and E4OD and it still tows the setup. It's not even rated to tow that trailer...

I would be very gratefull if your company starts working on the n-body 3400, or figure out how to swap the 3800 s/c 4t65hd into our Aleros...our weak link right now is the 4t45. I have seen pics of your car before on either aleromod.com or grandamgt.com....very sweet
