need a converter and probably a built trans to make it thru year with that cam and bolt on upgrades. you will suffer without converter, especially with a cam that lumpy

Well I know a guy who is a trans guy. you are right the trans she be getting old. What ive got here is a bunch of millennials with mommys WRX.s Or silly stance crap that want to street race. Just raced one today (who runs cars with bright green wheels?) dumb ass. anyway wish this was a 6 speed. Yeah I forgot the tranny. Arnt higher stalls I mean don't they not ingage till you reach the RPM then engage like reving then dropping the clutch?

[Stormyweather]

The trans Dude said 1k to 1500 depending on cam specs for stall I pull no problem. The problem is money. Anyone got any boats that need a fixin? Basicly I mentioned about 6k worth of parts and you know that will grow. ""Marine Tech for Hire""




Todays vocabulary word :Millennials

Millennials are the demographic cohort following Generation X. There are no precise dates for when this cohort starts or ends; demographers and researchers typically use the early 1980s as starting birth years and the mid-1990s to early 2000s as ending birth years. Millennials, who are generally the children of baby boomers and older Gen Xers, are sometimes referred to as "Echo Boomers" due to a major surge in birth rates in the 1980s and 1990s. The 20th-century trend toward smaller families in developed countries continued, however, so the relative impact of the "baby boom echo" was generally less pronounced than the original post–World War II boom.

No, its not like dropping the clutch at all. It drives and feels normal it just flashes quicker. Stock stall speed is apprx 1800rpm. You should be looking at minimum a 3500rpm converter. Minimum....

The 3.73s will help make it feel tighter at lower driving speeds. A good quality converter will still retain great drivability on the street.

I ran a FTI lock up converter before i swapped to a 6 speed. It was a great converter.

[Stormyweather]

Cool thanks didnt know as it is now if I loose traction I go left then right when it shifts to second on street tires but drags isnt all I want. its them pesky WRX's and Evo sunsabitches JKing

Wow racing is just like owning a boat. You spend boat dollars like water a boat dollar = 1000.

you don't need a stall that high, a protorque b29ss stalls right about 3k and costs $350 I think. works well with that size cam.

find a used 3.42 or 3.73 10 bolt.

if you want to talk low budget, look for used shit. my entire car I have about 3k in, including buying the car. deals can be found

Wow my Spohn racing list it is a bit over 3k if I could get away with waiting on the 12 bolt I can afford that tranny in 6 to 8 months lol. But hey glad I have modest Expectation (http://www.dictionary.com/browse/expectation)s. First thing headers I have O2 issues and well car needs to breathe. So looking to save for some pacesetter's Should rename thread to Stormys save o ramma build or Break. Out. Another. Thousand. After all If you own a boat and bring it to a shop.

want a set of lpp stainless stepped longtubes and y pipe? $250 plus shipping

spohn is pricey. you can find quality for cheaper than him. unless you want all out drag shit. my founders rod ended panhard has the same rod ends everyone else uses, but is much cheaper. same with founders lcas.

So true Tubby. I've found a lot of smoking deals, sometimes you have to take a chance on a part or member.

Theres a reason why its so cheap. Its probably a rebuilt 4 cylinder converter with a different input to fit a small block so that it flashes higher. You get what you pay for.

It doesnt matter to me anyways. Its not my car or money. Just my opinion.

I wasnt trying to start an argument. I was merely stating my real life experience with a specific brand/part.

I wasnt saying he had to go with a certain brand/part I used. Im not trying to start a competition between two brands either which is stupid....

"want a set of lpp stainless stepped longtubes and y pipe? $250 plus shipping"
That's a great price I'm on a budget right now trying to free up some things. I cant yes or no yet. But stainless does sound good.

As for the converter I didn't think that I needed a 3500 stall. Maybe a .400 hp is the goal or there about and a lower stall would be cheaper.
Tranny rebuild is around 1300 with all the bells and whistles but the dude all said I cant change anything the trans does via the PCM. But he may not know. Hes just a tranny guy. Protorque sounds doable.

let me know, they are just sitting here.

I suggest a 3kish stall for street manners.

things can be changed with trans via tune, but you can only change so much if the trans isn't built right. you should really talk to Frank Cahall about a cpt rebuild. he will give you a warranty when most others won't. even his stock rebuild breaks necks

Thanks will do

Badazz 97 TA It might be nice if you didn't slam a particular company without and real proof of your claim. I can assure you that Protorque DOES NOT sell or build the 4cylinder S-10 converters. The B29SS is a 12" converter that's based of the high stall Grand National converters. I have customers all over the country using this converter with great success.

Well it appears that I may have gone just a bit big on the cam and possibly asking too much of a over 130k stock lower end. Maybe more like a hot cam. Pretty much everything else stays the same. And thanks Badazz 97 TA Im on budget that is a great converter. But I might not need one that high. Anyway.

psht. throw the damn cam in it. I put a hotcam in a 236k mile motor, which is still being abused to this day, and cammed the impala with a 228/236 592/592 110lsa with 114k miles.

Yeah 400+ sounds better then 350 sum. Any way since I'm there go big or go home. And that does take a 3200 stall.
