I was told it my need a new convertor?

Any ideas???

[GNICTRY]

anyone?

[nhraformula]

rebuild time.

[mghawk57]

Rebuild +1

[GNICTRY]

i have heard they dont hold very well after a rebuild? True or false

would replaceing it with a new one be better?

What would i need to rebuild it?:ahh:

What would be involved in switching to a manual? Is it worth it?

[Johns00Z28]

I have heard good things about Performabuilt....check them out.

[GNICTRY]

For the stall it is really up to how you want it to drive, probably anywhere between 3000 and 3500 would be good.

The tranny cooler i just went for the biggest one that i could find, this is the one i bought http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&viewitem=&item=320154530250 and i have been happy with it.

were does the cooler go?

[MikeMoss]

I put mine in front of the condenser and radiator. Ill take pics sometime once i can find a camera and post them up here.

[Y2KPewterSS]

Almost everyone mounts there cooler in front of the radiator and condensor :yup:

[GNICTRY]

K i bought the trans as mentioned on post #8.
Now I have mods in sig with stock suspension and gears.
Cam will come with asap but in the mean time...I want to go ahead in install a stall while I am switching trans. I want to get a tci but not sure on size? Keep in mind I dont have much to spend so possibly a used you w/ low mileage. Not sure when I would have time / money for tune either? Suggestions?!
Also the car is my dd with 104k.

[GNICTRY]

sorry forgot mods

tried one 4l60e never do another! but they are guys on here that can do it.
a new one would have a warranty, Yes a manual would be worth it IMO.

[GNICTRY]

lockup or not lock up stall?

[mghawk57]

Lock up - Go to Fuddle Racings web sight - Great information on stalls and how the work.John is a great guy.

[GNICTRY]

glad i bought the trans as mentioned i just lost 3 and 4 :Ohno:

[GNICTRY]

Woudl this be the right cooler? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/B-M-TRANS-OIL-COOLER-70266_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ46095QQihZ018QQit emZ280207823662QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

Also, John at Fuddle Racing said w/ the texas cam 228/114lsa i want i should go w/ 3400/2.1 stall ? I am not sure on what ill like , car is a dd and has 104k, Friends tell me to get a 3200stall?

If i got the 3400 via fuddle within a year i would be able to switch to a 3400 right?

[GNICTRY]

any suggestions on stall brand/size and cooler??? need info asap

[mghawk57]

3200 Fuddle Brand - ohh - that's what I have for sale --- -- Kidding - I would go with what John said - his recomendation for me was spot on - If he says 3400 with a 2.1 sti rating that is what I would go with.Just my thoughts.

[GNICTRY]

he said 3400/201 but i never had one and i dont want something to big for the time being since cam is in future and I not sure on brand. I have heard some really bad things on some but then really great thing too...just not sure???

[mghawk57]

Call him back and tell him what you are doing with the car.Dailey driver,street friendly or just what.It does take a little to get used to a stall,but the over all performance - seat of the pants feel - is worth it.

[GNICTRY]

i did...he suggest 3400/2.1 i just not sure on other brands ... best bang for buck kinda thing. I am leaning towards fuddle bc of their warranty.

[mghawk57]

And price is the best if I remember right.

[GNICTRY]

hp is 675 shipped perfo is 500 shipped...how long did it take to get and how many have u had

[mghawk57]

The 1st one it took 1 week to have it built and shipped - I am in Montana - he is in Salt Lake City - The 2nd one was 3 weeks - A mix up in the build specs - Not talking to Jon directly.Great all around service.

[GNICTRY]

what did you start with and why you change?

[mghawk57]

I went with Johns recommendations and only switched because building a 402 stroker motor with 12 psi of Procharger boost.More horse power is addictive.This one is the same stall just will hold more hp.

[GNICTRY]

k what u think about the cooler i posted on like post 16 or 19 something like that??

[mghawk57]

Get the best you can 28,000 lbs tow rating is the best and fits.

[GNICTRY]

like? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190204643863

[mghawk57]

Yes - Thats perfect.
