Yep gonna stick with an auto which means a c4 is my only option with a 4.0.

You don't want to run the 700r4 with the nice 3.06:1 1st gear and easy ability to lockup the torque converter in 2nd, 3rd, or 4th?

i wish they were strong enough for the desert abuse. most chevy guys i know have to switch to a th400 or 4l80 due to destroying the 700r4/4l60

In that case, I see a c4 in your future.

is it just me or does the rear sit really high in that first pic??
 












well that would explain it hahaha. that's quite a good load of gear
 






yeah im gonna need it for the longer races. it was pretty fast and soaked up everything even though the shocks are pretty far off valving wise. but 13" of bump travel in the front and 14 in the rear helps alot with that.
 


















maybe, not 100% sure jut yet. i need to get it mobile again so it might just get a used 4.0. they are a dime a dozen out here.

good send about two dozen to Kansas......:D
 






If you want to keep it auto, why not run the stock 4r70w behind the 5.0 instead of a C6? I've heard that they're pretty strong, at least compared to the auto you currently have, and i would think it would be less expensive.
