Yeah, that's one of the major selling points for the Turbo Lamik to me. That and the trans brake.

I have a factory 3.91 rear end in my 2021 Ram. 2100 rpm at like 75 mph.

Managed to get my mount system ordered I went all Hooker Blackheart may have to modify where it mounts but this gives me a good solid base and replaces the huge upper cross member hoop.

Once I have the Dart driving down the road I will have a list of parts used and prices. This is a cheaper option the ZF than a brand new TKX or auto from SST this is not cheaper than say a used A833. About the same as four speed used redone. But if you go Brewers which I would have its more for all new or like new. I had like 6 quotes for pricing I felt the ZF gave me the best bang per buck, also as a veteran from my hips are bad. Army PT did me in! A stick would be fun for a short time and painful to use the clutch.

I'm eagerly awaiting your progress! Just looked at JVX's website and couldn't find the LA to 8sp adapters. Could you tell me what's the part number on that flex plate and any other details about it specifically?
I called JVX the other day to talk about the conversion kit. The gentleman there said the flexplate comes neutral balance but that they could do any balance that you wanted (ie. LA 360 or Magnum 360) for an additional $80. I forgot to ask about the converter snout adapter, I think there are two diameters for the hemi 8HP converters.
I need to start thinking about a drive shaft plan. CV joint style 2020 Challenger RT style then needs a slip yoke, then will need a standard 1310 U joint on a 8 1/4 rear end. I ordered my shifter today not cheap the Challenger 8HP shifter and the knob itself 550 from Sound German Automotive. I may go to Tulsa as I'm told that Driveshaft inc does excellent work. If I get that I will have in theory all I need to complete the swap. In about tapped out on spending money I will be pissed if I hate this lol!
So far 1500 transmission 26000 miles 8Hp70 from 2020 Scatpack 6.4 car
Controller with harness 1000
Shifter 550
Adapters mount so on 500
Steel for frame connectors 100 dollars
And counting still think I may have saved more money than I realized doing work myself and all in.

I managed to get 99 percent done and I am ready to test drive. Before I do I need to finish up my tunnel top, small under trans brace on lower crossmember, and bolt in the interior. I also installed new drive shaft from drive shaft incorporated out of Tulsa Oklahoma. 449 dollars and some change brand new. I did have to work with Russel Drake on my RPM out we repinned in the PCS controller to speed in 2 and were working great. He did a few filters and adjusted in about 15 minutes. Goes in gear no issues and no other issues or codes. I have a switch I will throw in to flip to Sport mode off pin 3 single throw 12 volt. When switched on pin reads 12 volt and your in play mode.
Test drive today uneventful need to check fluid I cycled gears and in drive few times first then filled again. Now I need to check one last time since it had a chance to really pump the fluid some more.
