    We could just grab them from you sometime after cruise week. Not really in a rush, headers will go on first.

    It lives! The yacht is mobile for a grand total of around $650-700 (including car). Oil pressure gauge was temporarily alligator clipped and taped to the windshield. Motor seems healthy so it needs some mods now.

    Huge thanks to @popo8 for the 4.10 gears. This should really wake the car up compared to the stock 2.56 ratio. 1st gear tops out at 60 right now... ew. Exhaust will probably be Summit long tubes, 2.5" universal X pipe, mufflers, and dumps before axle. Might source stock Impala SS coils because the ride is so floaty it'll make you seasick. Air ride will be deleted eventually and more weight has to come out. Sleeper #2 in the making.

    Anyone have any suggestions for helping the auto live? I know it needs a better cooler, but what about a shift kit?

    TG HD2 kit, full race

    Knock out your teeth shifts and it may survive a little.

    Would the HD2 kit be a bad idea on a trans with 110k? Seems to be in good health and was previously owned by the elderly. I understand it decreases the clutch slippage between gears but I'm wondering how hard it'll be on everything else.

    I know I can tune in firmer shifts. Would that and a cooler extend the life of the trans?

    You fix shift issues mechanically not via tune. That is what I have always read and my tuner agrees.

    A cooler would def help, but that won't help if its slipping when at operating temp already. In the end of the day, you are playing with fire, might as well make it a fast burn.

    I don't think there's anything wrong with it mechanically, drives fine. No slip that I noticed. I was just under the impression that the stock shifts were meant to be slow and smooth which would mean more wear on the clutches.

    Do what u can with tune up until it won't shift any faster, then worry about valve body. Good tune u won't notice it as much until u make substantially more power. @Cahall has his own valve body mods he does, talk to him, TRUST ME. Even a stock or light performance build from Frank is well worth it, and will shift lightning quick

    I also have a moog/gm factory spring chart that will lower and tighten up ride alot and can be had off amazon for dirt cheap
