Re: 79 C10 swap with L92 with 6L90
I'd love to see only 3100 at 70 mph, I'm at just under 3800 rpm even with my 32" tall tires.

Toss a turbo or two on there and you can pretty much keep the same MPG you were getting cruising down the road but have a great power increase when you want it.

![]() Honestly, the 6L90 may just be having the same intro years teething problems all the trans seem to have when they first come out. GM will get it dialed in over the next couple years after getting some warranty failures. 600 hp to the wheels is nothing to be ashamed of. It takes some minor mods to make a T-400 handle that reliably. Getting that bone stock is nice. You will have a great truck when you get it done.

Re: 79 C10 swap with L92 with 6L90
Alright guys i am stuck and i need help.
Need some pics of exhaust setups i can't really figure out how to put a balance-pipe or x-pipe in my system. I trying to do a two 3 in pipes that comes from the headers then a x-pipe or balance pipe which ever fits then two cutouts with dumps just before 2 magnaflow mufflers and exits just before the rear tires and after step side with splash tip's. I have to figure it out within two days if someone can post some pic's it make my life easier cause the guy who's doing my exhaust is a friend and he weld's 18-wheeler tanks for living and really busy that way my money be well spent and defiantly help him. |

http://www.pypesexhaust.com/images/rpe631x.gif I'm going to extend the cut out tubes far enough that I can manually remove the caps at the track and keep the exhaust gasses out from under my car. I may turn them 45 degrees so they exit perpendicular with the rocker panels just in front of the rear tires.
