You basically swap out the 1st and 2nd planetaries to slightly lower ratios and to make the gear combos make sense and then use a different valve body that can apply the OD clutch in 1st and 2nd as well as 3rd, so you get 1st, 1st+OD, 2nd, 2nd+OD, 3rd, and 3rd+OD. The valve body and TCM are from PCS.

Mine is going behind a 24 valve DOHC Trailblazer straight 6 with Weber DCOE pattern throttle bodies (though I may do actual DCOE Webers at first to get things going faster).

That sounds like a really sweet setup, .

Thanks Boosted. They are a custom setup I ordered from DD. It was more, but I can't remember how much. I'll have to check.

I ordered some new shocks from Ridetech today. I should have them by next week, .
