I have not called the tranny company yet but do they do just an upgrade to My new tranny or do You have to buy thier tranny. They are close enough i could take a road trip and let them rebuild mine or at least trade it in for some kind of credit. I'll get in touch with them but thought you may have already heard anything on this type of swap out.

They are going to want your transmission as a core or to actually build your transmission for you.
About those headers... I wouldn't use a $1000 set of long tube headers as the basis for a underhood turbo set up. They sell "log" type headers just for that purpose and they would be cheaper. Personally, I think you are better off to take the long tubes off and sell them. You should be able to recoup at least 60% of the purchase price of the headers if they are stainless. As a matter of fact, my friend who just put a turbo on his LS1 Camaro (11.50 at 120 on his second dragstrip pass!) used a log style. The turbo will push the exhaust gas through just fine.
